Not trying to troll, genuine question here.
The way this is framed as a solution to poverty is disgusting but what is wrong with being paid for a blood donation? Blood is needed for medical applications, can't be manufactured, and will be sold at a profit anyways, so why shouldn't the donor be compensated?
I think it's more about the exploitation than anything else.
The author successfully correlated crime with poverty, but instead of offering a good solution to the wealth inequality, they instead think more exploitation would be the solution.
Yeah that makes sense. Coming from that angle I can see how this could open things up for even more exploitation. I was thinking more "well if this is happening anyways might as well get paid, right?" Rather than "this is going to be an incredibly degrading new form of exploitation that should not be encouraged."
