The Market Caps of both Apple and Alphabet/Google exceeds the GDP of Chicago, Japan, and the Eurozone. Of course, while measuring Market Cap to GDP is comparing, er, value of the Trees to Apples, telling us basically nothing, it is an interesting metric. — PING!

Do they include the value of government “services” in this calculation? If so, Apple’s market cap is probably triple that of Chicago.

How about comparing the number of murders on Apple property to the number in Chicago. Chicago wins bigly.
