My car is paid off so I didn't factor that in. But you make a good point. Probably the majority of drivers have some sort of payment, whether that's a car loan

- Mz 11y agoFrom my perspective, this is the chance for someone to get access to a car that they might not otherwise have and also create a job for themselves. Someone who is a college student or relatively poor for some reason might view this as a chance to get access to a car for themselves and also make enough money to cover it and perhaps a bit more than that. It might not be a paradigm that would occur to you because your situation is different from that. But I think we need to not turn our noses up at giving people the chance to make what looks to you like a poor wage. A quick google suggests Nevada's minimum wage is either $7.25/hour or $8.25/hour, depending upon what benefits they have. If you are only making $7.25/hour, then $10/hour is more than a 33% increase in income. That extra $2-$3/hour may seem piddling to you, but for people who have very little, it can be huge and make a big difference in their quality of life. Furthermore, if it also gets them access to a car that they wouldn't otherwise have, this may be hugely life changing. Living without a car in America can be quite challenging.
