Bill Burr has the only reasonable take on Steve Jobs:

Is this the bit where he talks about Steve Jobs getting onto several states' organ-transplant registries (simultaneously) so he could eventually "cut the line," using trafficked Tennessee bodyparts, to get his replacement liver installed?


source re: "trafficked Tennessee bodyparts"?


What I meant was Jobs paid to buy his way to the front of wait-lines, in states he was non-resident (including Tennessee), for a replacement body part (liver); every Tennessean he eventually $"cut"$ had to wait longer (or die) for their turns to receive transplants.

Jobs died while I worked for Texas' body farm... his "liver line cutting" was big news; my own institution eventually found itself in an unrelated (and much bigger!) bodyparts trafficking scandal (look up "selling Texas bodyparts scandal" circa 2020) [†].

There's lots of money in used bodyparts.

To be quite literal: the majority of Americans are worth more dead than alive (considering 70%+ live paycheck-to-paycheck)...

[†] I am still donating my own body to the accused institution, UNT – I hope an equally-sick-fuck gets me =P


Can you please summarize? I can't handle Burr's strident delivery for more than a few seconds.
