California is about 5% of revenue for Uber.

Maybe, but this law will prevent Uber from ever turning a profit in CA, so it's far easier to just shutdown operations, and move their headquarters.

I live here, pay taxes here, and vote here. I am actively rooting against the state right now.

Ironically, according to their SEC filings, CA (and specifically SF/Bay Area and LA/OC) was one of Uber's few profitable markets, pre-COVID.

CA is 12% of Uber's revenue and 25% of Lyft's revenue

Source? I've seen many different figures (including a very reliable source that stated it was in the single digits for Uber)

You've asked for a source without linking your "very reliable source".

Uber's CEO is my source

Uber's CEO is referring to COVID-era percentages.

Pre-CVOID, according to their SEC filings, SF, LA, and NY were Uber's only profitable markets.

Ah, then these numbers make sense. Thanks!

Do you have a link? Or you had a personal conversation with them?

I was actually off. CA is 9% of Uber's ride share and 21% of Lyft's[1]. Which would likely translate to higher revenue share.
