> In this case Uber offered you $x. You agreed to $x.

This is not true. Uber and drivers did not sign any contract specifying set rate.

Every ride that is offered to drivers has price based on supply/demand. Drivers are free to cancel jobs if they feel the offered rate is too low.

So the driver agreed to a certain amount and was paid a certain amount? Seems like I’ve heard that somewhere...

I never said they agreed to an hourly rate, I said they agreed to a rate, and they did.

They agreed to rates for previous rides and gave those rides. Each ride is has independent rates, there's no reason they have to accept past rates for future rides.
