perhaps update your priors at this point. Uber is a profitable company now.

Wikipedia puts net income at -9.1 billion for 2022. It takes more than one quarters worth of information to update a prior on a 14 year old company.

Uber had a profitable quarter. They are still $30 billion in the red over the lifetime of the company.
