> It would be hilarious if they stopped having Uber drivers in California and just paid Nevada Uber drivers to make the trips instead

Do you mean trips that begin in California and end in California? If Uber systematically does this, I'd hope to see a new law that is a "bug fix" that makes Uber CEO eligible for life in prison with no opportunity for parole for doing this.

If they can find a way to do this profitably, it shows how unrealistic California labor laws can be

EDIT: Also, remember that neither Lyft or Uber have ever been profitable
