And they do that with just 127,000 employees (but probably many more than that in contractors, suppliers, etc.)

I wonder what the per capita GDP (or GCP? Gross Corporate Product) is of apple vs other companies/countries.

.7 billion per day, mind blowing.

One might say they're raking it in, but I do wonder how many people with rakes it would take to rake up 0.7 billion dollars per day. Top of my head says, "a small city". (Alright, back-of-the-napkin whizzes...)

To make the number as big as we can, we can use pennies. $700M/day = $8101/s = 810,100 pennies @ 2.5g per = 2025kg or 2 metric tons of pennies per second. I honestly have no idea how many pennies a person can rake per second. Pennies are pretty small, so maybe a few thousand at a time with a special rake? I'm imagining that you would have to rake these pennies 100 meters at about 1 meter per second (average walking speed 1.4 - having to rake pennies), so we would have to be raking at any given time 100 seconds worth of pennies (=81M). If a given person can rake a few thousand at a time, then that's about 40,000 people, approximately a small city

Can you imagine having the Money Mines, just the forever drudgery of moving money from one place to another, day in, day out, it never ends.
