Honestly, in the US at least, I’m annoyed that you can’t be paid for regular whole blood donation. I could go donate blood for free, get in a car accident on the way home, need a transfusion, and be billed thousands of dollars for the privilege. That “putting a price on medicine is unethical” only applies to donors apparently.

It’s wild this is a paid thing in the US. As far as I know, in Canada, you can only donate for free. Blood, plasma, sperm, doesn’t matter. Can’t be paid for surrogacy either.

Yeah, but the snacks are great. But I miss the pre-covid era of soup and Cookies by George.

They have Hard Bite near me which are arguably the best chips to come out of Canada since Lays Ketchup chips (by like a lot).
