How is the Red Cross responsible for any of that?

It’s hilarious, and telling, that they think the people to lash out against are people needing blood transfusions.

Aka

Cancer, anemia, and trauma patients. Pregnant mothers with complications. Premature infants.

All because “People needing blood must be boomers, so just die.”

A trash opinion, from a trash human, proud of its spiteful ignorance, scared of a prick of pain and a minor inconvenience.

They do have a point though - more people will donate blood if the time it takes to donate and recover is something they can afford to lose. So if people have better wages, good housing that is close to their workplace, etc., then blood donations will also increase.

The number of upvotes that comment has is also very telling.
