Comment there,
"Most people believe that's true. But it simply is not. I multi-listed in Ohio after being on the waitlist for 8 years in Colorado. I am far from rich - I'm not even middle. But there was reasonably priced housing in Cleveland and my family kicked in. I did NOT have to move there. And Cleveland Clinic sent a jet (theirs) to pick me up. They never charged for it, and haven't figured that out yet (2 years out). Just saying, yeah, Steve Jobs had a lot of money, but I was on SSDI and had family help. Also, Jobs had to wait his turn, just like the rest of us, too. How long did I wait for the Cleveland liver to come through - after officially being listed after much evaluation - exactly 45 days. Cleveland is aggressive and there are more organs. But I also got a split liver - a large cadaver liver came in and the surgeons there split it so that two people got new lives. Yes, lives"

Add to pros and cons?
Pretty good deal to buy a house in CLE and get an organ...

Buy a house in Cleveland, create a new crypto based on the ownership of the house, and call it LiverCoin.

This is either so right or so wrong. I'm torn.

I can't see how there is place for anything like this in a liberal democracy.  Police seizing private property with the only evidence being an apparent lack of ability to afford it? Almost certainly unconstitutional in the US.  Maybe the article isn't clear enough about what the justification for the seizure is.

So wrong.
It’s justification for profiling based on how much the officer hates the suspect.
If the equivalent of the IRS wants to question how a person with no income is wearing a $25k watch go ahead. But that’s not what it is.
