> So I'll stand by a claim that the money is pretty good, at least in <$10/hour minimum wage markets

But the whole calculation of the money was based on the earnings of one driver in LA, which isn't a < $10/hour minimum wage market (California has a $10/hr minimum wage).

(And, after taking the employer-equivalent share of self-employment taxes into account, the pay is barely above the equivalent of a $10/hour employee wage.)
