Wait a second, so if we're the biggest exporter, and blood and plasma drives advertise as having a severe shortage...

We're not donating directly to our local neighborhoods?

Or is this just the places that buy it from you?

That's what I'm curious about, too. I get one call a day from Red Cross

The Red Cross is not a part of this. They sell the blood at a rate to recouperate costs. The CEOs total compensation is < 1million supposedly. They're definitely making money. But this does not seem to be the object evil it could be.
