Also, it wasn’t exactly just leftists, but also my leftist friends who were always asking for “friend prices” when I drove them around when I drove a taxi. Like… you guys are getting special service, and I’m your friend, you get to skip the hour of waiting and fighting other drunks in the taxi queue.

Seems like bad friends, whatever the political preferences are

Leveraging connections is both very human and of variable social acceptability depending on a lot of circumstances.

What would actually make them a bad friend is not being willing to return the favor.
