Comment on When we explain to other people how our capitalist system works and they recoil in horror
BassTurd@lemmy.world 4 days agoI donate plasma twice a week and there were rations for the past couple of months on saline. Instead of getting refilled with saline after the donation, we had to eat gold fish drink and drink a Powerade before the donation and drink a Powerade and sit for 15 min after. Last week was the first time they started doing saline again.

Tbqh the saline is only necessary because a lot people aren’t sufficiently hydrated in the first place. That Gatorade did basically the same thing on a ~24 hour delay.
Ofc, that’s easier to say for people with a decent amount of blood volume in the first place.
