I agree that market forces push down the prices below minimum wage. I don't think that itself is necessarily a bad thing. For one this labor is relies on a skill that most people (in US at least) already can do, so is almost unskilled labor. And unemployed people who can't find a minimum-wage job (which may be limited especially in places that set high minimum wages) are actually able to earn something. Plus these low salaries do help lower transportation costs for Uber/Lyft users. But what I don't like is how Uber/Lyft market themselves into tricking poor people that this can be a worthwhile career, especially when all these hidden costs are not clearly communicated to drivers. I think the solution relies in potential drivers becoming aware about these hidden costs.
