"He said he earned $106.71 over five-and-a-half hours, over just over $19. San Francisco’s minimum wage is $16.07."
This headline is extremely misleading, if not borderline fake news. I was expecting his earnings to be around $8 an hour or something, but he did $19 an hour on a bicycle, ~20% over minimum wage.
The Independent seems to also realize this, because right after that, they feel the need to immediately add that "Uber Eats drivers, part-time contractors who provide their own transportation, food, healthcare, etc, often take home less than that figure, sometimes less than minimum wage."
They seem to be less interested in reporting the facts and more interested in pushing a narrative.
