If I had to change it I'd increase it.

The average late teenager is not suitable to have a say. And half of them are below average in that sense.

I'd like to tie it to actually being a tax payer, you pay you get a say in how your hard earned money is spent. But that would throw people who can't work under the bus.

Not heard of it since.

Which is good I suppose because it would have to be something horrific enough to push Russia-Ukraine or Israel-Hamas out of the media.

How is it nowadays? Getting better/worse/nowhere?

I think it's fine to pay some for it.

I don't know how your healthcare system is structured. But let's assume there is a profit motive in getting you to donate blood. Let's also assume profit is a problem. So we want to reduce profits.

  1. If you get €25 per donation that is €25 less profit for them per donation.

  2. The demand for blood is going to stay the same. No one will decline a live saving surgery because it's a bit expensive and will pay anything to get it. Increasing supply will decrease profit margins.

No, not really. But you can feel good about saving trees. You also get an xmas allowance of assorted seabirds dipped in crude oil that makes for a very cozy fire place.

Stop using wood furniture. Don't live in wooden houses and make sure to demand a plastic straw next time you have a burger and there will be less profits.

I don't care about any particular artist enough to require a huge amount so you'd mostly be paying me for the inconvenience of remembering to follow through for 50 or so years.

We're looking at something like one annual salary because anything less won't make enough of a difference to bother with the effort for half a century.

Can I wait until I'm 100 years old?

While it's a shame to waste a powerful wish I quite enjoy being alive.

I generally don't eat until 11-12 ish.

I used to eat first thing in the morning but it's something you can learn not to do if you want to for whatever reason.

You'll be hungry in the mornings but after a few years you won't notice, assuming you still eat enough the other meals.
