Neither of these two quotes in the article provide a compelling counterpoint to the outsized impact that Prop C would have had on Stripe's business.

Yeah. Salesforce probably has north of 50% margins. Eating 1% is annoying but livable. A Square or Stripe type business probably has under 5% margins, making this a tax of 10 to 20 percent of profit.

Unless things changed over the summer, Square is not profitable, so this is just an additional major expense that makes profitability harder to achieve.
