    And I am so ready for the bubble to burst.

    15% of the total United States GDP is a single company. I struggle to comprehend the scale of that, but one thing is for certain; it’s going to bite us in the ass eventually.

      no, it is not. you struggle to comprehend it because it is not true.

      it is comparing different things. one is a valuation, the other is the value of goods and services over a year. the comparision would be with yearly revenue of a company
