Well said. It’s a big problem we have nowadays where people don’t want to accept that most if not all things in life are nuanced. It’s not all black and white.

And it’s sad that this lack of critical thinking is costing blood donations centers their ability to function adequately.

There isn’t any nuance, these morons are just wrong.

They just don’t realize how expensive of an operation it is, and don’t realize how fucked in the head it is for a “leftist” to demand a cut of a non-existent profit margin to help the sick.

I have literally zero doubt that the Red Cross C-level is a corrupt party of failed for-profit executives (namely the CEO and her cronies, look her up), but this idea that it’s an immoral act to sell the blood to cover operation costs is…

Laughable. Contemptuous ignorance at its worst.

And it’s not like these morons are donating to Blood Assurance or a local bank instead.
