I used to sell plasma. I was already left wing and aware of American desperation, but that was about the bleakest shit I've seen. Ive been to chemo wards that are upbeat compared to it.
It depends on where the donation center is. I live in a semi-rural college town with virtually zero homeless population. Plasma donation here is a bit different here than it is in the urban hellscape 25 minutes away. The atmosphere here is more "blood drive" than "soup kitchen".
