  • I understand that the rate of return on storage units is around 10%. Just saying that there's gold in them hills.
  • nVidia those little shits :3 $55.6 profits for $100 revenue, DAMN
  • Nah, the top quant companies and OnlyFans beat their pants off these companies for profit unit economics, especially per capita.

    Do the Amazon numbers include AWS? I would certainly hope their ecommerce division is at least comparable to Walmart and Costco. AWS needs to be split out when analyzing Amazon because it distorts things.

  • It's no longer capitalistic profit, it's more like feudal rent. Meta/Amazon are effectively taxing all the society.
  • I think only measuring profits and not taking into account total revenue is not a fair comparison. Especially when there are companies that make insane revenue and little profit due to commodity cycles.

  • Sorts profit numbers alphabetically instead of numerically. Pretty sure that is a sign of the quality of the rest of the reporting here as well.
