Uber is a a high-growth startup as you may be aware, and will far eclipse its 2015 revenue this year. Even so, comparing the revenues of the "massively profitable" prison company that's been around since 1983 with a single Silicon Valley startup that just got off the ground a few years ago is quite a stretch and a false equivalence.

....And burger king exists since 1953 and "only" makes $1.06B of revenue per year, so what?

3 billion dollars is more than many small countries make in an entire year (nominal GDP)
