Literal blood-sucking corporate vampires

To correct Ross Perot, that "giant sucking sound" isn't U.S. jobs going to Mexico, but rather poor Mexicans' blood being sucked into this multi-billion-dollar U.S. industry.

America is one of the few countries that allows corporations to buy human plasma, but according to the NYT, "the plasma industry says it pays donors for their time, not for the plasma itself." How nice. Maybe we should start calling these desperate Mexican donors "hematology consultants."
