1-Jobs’ came to Memphis because it had one of the shorter waiting lists in the country and the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center program at Methodist University Hospital has a solid rep.
2-Memphis real estate took a huge hit in the Bush Recession that we are still climbing our way out of. The house would have sold at a ‘loss’ if Elmer Fudd were the purchaser.
3-Dr Eason got a good deal and was doing just fine before the whole affair- it wasn’t about money. Top notch transplant surgeons don’t hurt for money anywhere.
4-It’s none of the Shelby County Commission’s business what the State (via the University of Tennessee) sold it’s property for.
5-It’s an election year and a collection of bozos are trying to get their name in the paper instead of doing something worthwhile for their constituents.

Does anyone with a functioning brain cell think that a dying billionaire would quibble or worry over a half million dollars?

Steve saved Tennessee some money.

What’s next- “yo mama” jokes?”…. Do you actually think in those terms, or are they part of the subscription?
Yo mama is so old she farts dust.

Shut up…. go away…… have a hush puppy and some mash….

The transplant lists are also structured to account for need based on health. Jobs subsequent death does seem to indicate that his need was high enough to push him up the list. The issue is did wealth come directly into play. We can hope not. We can be callous and say so what. We be jaded and assume of course it did. It is fair to look into this but the final judgement should be based on evidence.

I don’t think the evidence of UT’s “loss” has any part in this. Did the surgeon pay fair market value when he bought it from Jobs? If so end of story unless there is other evidence to go on. If not then we still don’t know what role it played in selection but it would warrant investigation. UT’s choice to sell in a down market is smoke and the use of it to leads one to surmise that it is being brought into this as means to make it look like fire where none exsists.

No, just on a cross.

Now if they had made money in real estate during that period — that would be something to investigate.

Robbl, get a life.

Why?

Simply because people whose life accomplishments are so little sometimes feel the need to knock down others who have done more. In short: small minded petty insecure arrogance.

Nuff said
