The real crime here is how much money the companies selling the products made from the plasma make.
Scam poor people out of their plasma, then charge sick people horrendous prices.
Sound bad? Yes! But thankfully there's a solution! It's.. drumroll guillotines!!

pay rentAm I missing something

She wouldn't be able to donate because she has a full sleeve, you need to see her veins...
So it must an April fools!
-
Maybe she doesn't on the other arm or has a usable vein elsewhere 🤷
The veins in my arms are difficult to find, so when I need blood extracted they use one on the back of my hand. They could do the same with her..
-
They can't/wont use hand veins for this, since they have to extract, process, and return the volume not used. IME they wanted an arm vein and only went after the inner elbow for the needle site. The hand vein likely isn't large enough to use for this purpose.

Back in my old job I actually did this.
You could make $400 a month for 30 minutes a week. It was better than a part-time job, but definitely still a testament to the fact that we're all being robbed of our labor, seeing as how you shouldn't need it if you're a working adult.

I got money for donating plasma. It was cool.
Lots of people need plasma.
I don't think this is as hellish as everyone is pretending, this is straightforward supply and demand.
Red cross is way worse, since they ask for donations, sell blood at a profit and don't disburse any compensation to their volunteers.

Boy Boy made a great video about this. A lot of the blood is actually going towards silicon valley tech billionaires who think other peoples blood can cure aging. Companys also sell the blood at a profit so it's not like they're actually better than the red cross who give the blood to actual hospitals. There is a reason we don't allow people to sell their organs. Giving too much plasma can be dangerous. It shouldn't be any different.

Interesting fact though: plasma donation is an effective way of dramatically lowering PFAS and other "forever chemicals" as well as possibly microplastics in the bloodstream.
True story.

Not if any of those tattoos happened recently you're not.

That's the future (neo)liberals want for our country! Wake up!

Images like this make it difficult to distinguish satire from reality, especially on April Fools Day.
In a post truth world, April Fools is cancer. My family has stopped joking altogether.
