This is a problem I have with the current times. Yes things are crazy. Yes there are robe wearing weirdos into butt stuff rituals who plot world domination. But not everything is part of that. What if that person's car was in the shop? What if they had to drive their girlfriends/wife's car because their car had more seats for the kids and she needed to take them to grandma's house? They are getting paid less than what the wear on their car is worth, and I can't fault them for feeling like someone making a problem is not worth the hassle. At the same time, maybe they are ms13 sex traffickers.
My point being, how can we ever recover if it is impossible to ever trust anything? At some point we have to look at our fellow countrymen and feel safe letting our kids stay over at their house.
If we can't do that then we are doomed to be isolated and paranoid forever. That sounds sad to me.
How do we get there?
I don't really care about what the situation was for the driver. If something doesn't feel right, it's probably not. That should always be rule number one. The fact that the driver was unwilling to save the fair and explain the situation, is a huge tell. She did the right thing.
Blind trust is never good. Shit happens. The key is to not let it happen to you and those you care about. We are imperfect people living in an imperfect world. Until that is rectified, we must take care not to become another statistic.
Amen. You are correct 100%
Build communities where you know each other and limit your networks back down instead of pretending we know the whole world?
If I have a problem now that I am living in a small town with friends and neighbors, I call my neighbors or my friends and have them pick me up instead of getting into Uber. Sometimes they won't even allowed dogs.
