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
in the gloom of mighty cities
amid the roar of whirling Wheels
we are toiling on like chattle slaves of old
and our masters hope to keep us
ever thus beneath their heels
and to coin our very lifeblood into gold
