      That would make it more obvious that Amazon is not on the list.

    I wonder what the stats look like for profit rather than revenue. A digital company like Google should have higher margins than a product company.

          At a guess, it’s probably a mocking name for Microsoft.

    There are ~100k feral humans sent back to live in nature within 100 miles of me in the greater Los Angeles region.

    That’s ONE THOUSAND MILLIONS.

    I feel like we need to put a billion in perspective more often.

      How far is a million from a billion? About a billion

    It would be more or alternatively insightful to have the profits rather than revenue

      I’d really like to see both. Actually a ratio of time it takes to earn that much profit vs that much revenue is a likely a great indicator of just how “evil” a company is. Costco is likely the least evil on that list based on that ratio.

        Ya, revenue/profit would be insightful

      I dunno, I feel like it makes more sense to have the revenue. Just how much they’re bringing in is more interesting, that’s how much money is coming into the accounts, y’know? Expenditures vary so widely between industries, this i feel is generally more insightful.

    In the meantime, the one entity that enables them all to hit these numbers: over 400 years.

    Apache foundation of course

    WTF? Invidia has half the revenue of Wal*Mart?!

    Walmart is buying crap from other companies.

    Exxon is the one company listed in there that enables all the rest of them to exist.
