lol.
It's obvious to any non idiot that I understand the difference between median and mean because you know I explicitly state that as much in my post....just more flailing from you.
Amazon only had ~175 billion in revenue last year, the majority of which is from retail operations; read: low margin. You're range is completely detached from reality.
Yet again, you declare victory in the face of overwhelming evidence you're wrong.
Take a look at Max's response to his original post that started this all....1.) he admitted his mistake 2.) and this is important so pay attention; he showed his work explaining how he made the mistake.
No company in the world can pay 83 billion in wages or whatever your upper bound was on 175 billion in revenue. No retail company can pay your lower bound either for that matter, and that's where the majority of Amazon's revenue is generated. I'd go further and say the fact you think any company in the world can pay 83 billion in wages just shows how you don't know fundamental facts about the world that would otherwise constrain your thinking. I know, I know....teh Googles sez so.
You are a textbook example of why nuanced discussion is beyond hopeless on this forum. Not unlike Trump
you are immune to facts and logic when the situation is black and white.....forget about debating gray areas.
