Time and time again, Uber has shown that undercutting their competitors in pricing is not done through smart technology or better business models, but by avoiding regulations and getting away with inhumane wages.

The alternative for many unskilled people would be to be unemployed and having even less income, would that be more or less inhumane?

At that wage you are unemployed. You cannot afford anything at an effective rate of $5 an hour. All you are doing is making someone else richer.
