70 year old in good shape, or 25 year old with neck and face tattoos. Their life choices, made mine alot easier.
I'm O-, drug and disease free. I think the Red Cross should pay people like me for my blood. It bothers me that I "donate it" and they charge $700 for it. I understand they don't want to pay for blood because lots of shady folks will show up, but there should be a preferred vendor list. The other thing I have a problem with is not having a say in who my blood goes to. I would be mad to know that it went to some POS gang banger who got shot three times and needed 14 pints to pull through so he can go back out on the streets and kill some innocent kid in spray and pray, or beat some senior for a few bucks. I would REALLY be mad to know it went to some antifa or SJW.
I wish there was a for military and LEO only donation place.
