And those delivery drivers are paid a wage, unlike the $0.80 per hour w/o tips from instacart.

Isn't there a minimum wage even for tipped workers at like 2$ something?

These types of "gig workers" aren't employees, they are independent contractors so minimum wage doesn't apply to them.

there is a term for that in German "Scheinselbstständigkeit" basically "pretend independence", seems more like a loophole than anything else
