[yung macro 宏观年少传奇 @apralky]

often a London bus driver will wave on all the passengers without having them pay -- the card reader is working, things are running on time, but he still signals you not to bother, as if he's doing you a favor

at first I was pretty confused about why this was happening, maybe I missed some obscure law?

but eventually I realized:
> the driver feels dissatisfied with his social status and occupation (especially since he's often a first-gen migrant who has given up higher relative status in the home country)
> in order to alleviate this status shame the driver establishes a status quo whereby the bus fare system is actually subordinate to him, operated as he sees fit, he is not a mindless state cog, and he does indeed possess the authority to make your day better or worse, grant or withhold a favor

it's functionally equivalent to the countryside cop in a developing country arbitrating legal matters on the spot -- whom to take in, whom to grant a favor, and the power rush that comes from this

I find it quite endearing and relatable actually -- though not great for public finances
