This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

He did get a transplant, in TN. Not in CA where he lived. He used his wealth to add himself to a areas with more donors and fewer on the wait list because he could hop on a jet unlike normal plebians.

That doesn't describe jumping a line, it just describes waiting in more lines. Is that all there was to it?

At the surface level, but there's more to it than that. Transplants don't work by taking a number and waiting, they assess the person's current condition as well. Since he waited and tried to cure cancer with fruit he fucked his liver and basically got to skip the line in another state. This was only possible because he had the transportation necessary. It's not an option you or I could use and say, just book a flight.

That also means that someone in a slightly better condition (But mind you, still needing a new liver) would have been passed over in their own state.
