Took a taxi back from the movie theater with the kids. As soon as we shut the door, the driver launches into a monologue about how the virus is fake, invested to Bill Gates (who wants to kill us all), look it up it’s all out there …
About two blocks in, I was about this close to saying “stop the car, thanks, let us out.” But I steer the conversation onto something more innocuous and tell myself to be patient …
He rattles on about Trump this and Fauci that, and some Jewish guy in Germany who is behind it all. But he must have sensed my silence, because the conversation puttered out …
At the end, I gave him a nice tip and simply said, “Sir, no one is trying to kill you - except nature. It’s that simple.” And wished him a good day. The end.
