How Crystal Girl Breaks Our Monetary System (Part I)

Several years ago, I shared a long Uber ride in South Beach with an attractive girl in her early 20s who was into crystals – not crystal meth – but healing crystals. She believed crystals had unique vibrational qualities that cured your illnesses. She ended the ride by offering to sell me some.

I didn’t make much of the conversation - the attractive, minimally educated female who is grifting through life is a common encounter in Miami, but it did make me think – where does a girl with a crystal hustle end up?
