#as a lyft driver in houston texas i have driven so many min wage workers to and from work

[mbrainspaz]

In my years of driving for Lyft in Houston I had two kinds of passengers. One type was annoying kids or lonely middle aged men going to bars. Those were interesting conversation at least. The other was minimum wage shift workers. MOST of my rides were the latter, and took me to a run-down apartment complex or to a shift at Family Dollar. The latter tipped better too, and what does that say about our society? It's ridiculous that I even needed to drive a man 2 miles down the road for his shift at Lowes but there was no walking path from his apartment on the other side of the interstate.

A majority of American infrastructure is hostile to human life and we could change that if enough people cared. But the rich people in the Woodlands don't care because they've got their running trails.
