Those crazy college kids practicing capitalism. I thought they were all Bolsheviks. Of course I can remember selling plasma in old Columbus towne so I could buy beer and pizza at the North Heidelberg.

I considered selling plasma in college, glad I didn’t b/c now my veins are really bad anyway.
But I didn’t even realize they were paying for convalescent plasma; I had assumed it was a different process, unpaid like donating blood.

Good for them. Enterprising solution to turn a negative into a positive.

They aren’t DemocRats because they aren’t deathly afraid of the virus. My wife’s coworker’s son had covid in July and is getting $200 per pint of plasma.

My son sold plasma last year, got about 300 per month. He told me they are now paying 700 per month to those with covid antibodies. Should be no surprise some students that are very healthy would be willing to take the risk. Not condoning it but understanding why.

Why is it grounds for dismissal? That’s idiotic.

A young person contracting the virus is something that should be encouraged, that way the least susceptible get immune and no longer transmit the virus to others.

Not a bad idea. They have a better chance of dying of alcohol poisoning, than the Chicom Cooties.

I ran into a college kid in a parking lot a few years ago selling plasma TVs out of the back of a Uhaul truck.

Plasma and sperm and marijauna....and Biden wants to forgive their loans, too.

Perhaps that’s a worthy endeavor.

When I was in college, we’d give blood on Thursdays so we could drunk cheaper on quarter beer nights.
