No.

Start taxing billionaires, fix the housing market, pay us decent wages and maybe we might volunteer to be your blood bags you fucking boomer vampires.

How is the Red Cross responsible for any of that?

It's hilarious, and telling, that they think the people to lash out against are people needing blood transfusions.

Aka

Cancer, anemia, and trauma patients. Pregnant mothers with complications. Premature infants.

All because "People needing blood must be boomers, so just die."

A trash opinion, from a trash human, proud of its spiteful ignorance, scared of a prick of pain and a minor inconvenience.

The number of upvotes that comment has is also very telling.

Restore sanity to the McDonald's dollar menu, stop my neighbor's dog from barking after 8pm, add more Arcane weapons to Elden Ring DLC, and bring spicy popcorn back to my 7-11, and then Red Cross, we might volunteer to be your blood bags.

It's sad that you're so cynical that you can't stand the idea of helping another human simply because all people deserve life.
