Taxi gouging

In between lives when I was 40 I drove for Veterans Cab in San Francisco. It is a humbling experience and a very long, hard day. 12 hours in a taxi is like dog years. One has no control over who climbs in the back seat or the condition they are in or their state of mind or out of their mind. But you need the money.

In my experience there are two kinds of people who ride in taxis - those who can afford it and those who can't. The ones who can't have all manner of problems that require getting someplace quickly. "Take me to Juvenile Hall" "Take me to General Hospital" the list goes on and on.

Our problems pale away compared to the average driver.
