Slightly on topic is the Zero Hedge article San Fran Uber Drivers Selling Respirator Masks As Wildfires Destroy Air Quality. $5 for an N95 mask is a helluva mark-up, but when your customer is choking on the air, why not squeeze a little more... Further down the article, it’s noted that another driver has a bulk box of masks he gives away to his customers. I wonder who gets repeat business.
