I actually donate about twice a week to help pay bills. I agree with people hearing about the practice of blood for money and saying “that doesn’t sound healthy.”. I actually feel awful for 24 hours or more post donation.

It’s also really cool you don’t get saline anymore because the US is out of it. Just a Powerade and goldfish so you don’t pass out driving home

      I read an article there are all these bullshit health centres popping up that offer saline for anti aging, detox, and hangovers.

      They’re using so much saline that hospitals are forced to ration it so rich dumbasses can have expensive urine

        Only time I ever got a saline IV was a couple weeks ago when I split my head open (and yes I had been drinking) and ended up in the ICU. I woke up strapped to a hospital bed with no idea how I got there. I’m probably lucky to be alive. There is a non zero chance I tried to fight some cops.

      I think something like a third or up to half of the total supply was produced in Puerto Rico or some south eastern state that got destroyed in a hurricane during the first trump admin. So that is one disaster/problem you can very squarely blame on Trump.
