Is minimum wage a living wage?

$7.25 * 44 hours per week * 51 weeks per year is still only 15,950 US$

That's gross, not net.

I'm not convinced that people would pay extra even if they didn't have to tip to a company that paid a living wage but charged more.

Probably could be a really interesting research topic but Uber comes to mind as part of the reason I loved it at the beginning was the lack of tipping.

It's not about the living wage, it's about the audacity of paying a bit too much to be chauffeured around the city.
