  • You can donate blood in 20 minutes. It takes an hour plus to donate plasma

    Am I going to sit in a chair for an hour plus without any compensation? Maybe once or twice here and there. But you can donate plasma at least twice a week.

    It requires two donations for a single unit. If you donate once and don’t donate the second, then your first donation is unusable. You have to get them to donate twice.

    When I was donating plasma, it paid about $75 for each donation. 50 first, 100 for second. The money is pretty good. $300 a month is a lot for a lot of people.

    If you didn’t compensate people for plasma donations, a lot wouldn’t do it. They currently need more people to donate.

    Plasma “donation” is a good thing.









  • 1 centiyard is about equal to 1 centimeter

    1 miliyard is 3 milifeet

    1 kiloyard is 3 kilofeet

    It would be the same as the metic system having something like a “hand”

    That if you wanted to express 1/3 of a meter you could just call it 1 hand. 2/3 meter would be 2 hands.

    If you were using this metric system and knew that something had to be two hands long. You’d simply call it 2 hands instead of .66 meters or 66 centimeters.

    If something had to be 2.5 hands long it would be .825 meters or 82.5 centimeters

    Meter and yard are both random established lengths. Using miliyards or millimeters is exactly the same.

    US customary units just have smaller unit names you can call them if it is convenient. If you never wanted to use anything but yards like the metric system does meters, it’s possible. Don’t want to use miles? Then megayards.

    I do think 1 simple system that everyone uses is needed and the metric system is simple.

    But if stupid Americans can use the “difficult” system, it can’t be too hard.
