    Maybe if our healthcare industry wasn’t designed to profit capitalists off death and suffering, there would be no such shortage.

    I say this as someone who used to donate regularly until I learned how my donated blood was then being ransomed for private profit against sick people that need it.

    I won’t knowingly support such a system, where genuine charity (not that shit corporations do for tax breaks and marketing, that’s called a transaction) is bastardized and betrayed into serving the profit motive.

      The system is fucked, yes. But the solution isn’t to stop donating. Doing that reduces supply and exacerbates the exact problems you’re describing.
