If you don't make enough driving Uber. Don't drive for Uber. The market corrects low pay; basic supply and demand.

Would you pay $10 for an oranage if you're buying it right from the farm? Of course not. The supply is such and the demand is such that $10 isn't the price.

Would you pay $10 for an orange in you're at Everest Base Camp? Probably because there aren't many orange trees up there.

The whole "living wage" argument doesn't hold much water with me. If Uber drivers were scarce, then Uber would raise prices (such as surge pricing.) If you aren't making enough driving Uber, then take your car, start your own car service, start marketing and compete.

Not that it's relevant but I don't particularly like Uber however I do like the free market. In this case it isn't like Uber is a monopoly.
