People have been selling their plasma for long before Trump. Are the numbers up? Would I know that if I read the article? Some mysteries will never be solved.

So instead I would like to point out that the real racket here is the Red Cross.

Well, it got me to take out $50,000 in student loans and get an advanced degree.
Which I probably wouldn't have done if I could have lived a comfortable life in the bottom half of the K.

You know what's funny? The cost of grad school is about the same as the cost of a new car.
A new car loan rate is often zero percent. My student loan rate averaged about 6.5%
Oh, and new car loans aren't structured so that after you've paid them for 72 months, you still owe money.
