if Uber can't/won't pay a living wage for a day's worth of work, and keeps cutting its prices which have a direct impact on people's income, bring on the tipping.

So you can cover the cost of their employees while they intentionally run at negative margins, attempting to eliminate competition so they can later charge you monopolistic pricing?

Well, Uber's not going to go away, the practice of paying workers less than they can live on isn't going to go away under capitalism, and welfare is constantly being eaten away at - the best we can make of it is to make sure people can survive.
