A comment on Apple becomes first U.S. company to reach a $2T market cap. Parent comment
If Apple bough Italy they wouldn't have enough money to make it work
Italy needs two trillions/year to go on, Apple only owns a fraction of that to spend.
That's why it is a worthless comparison.
A more apt comparison is
Apple is valued 2T at 260 billions of revenues in 2019
The total amount of Italian wealth is around 11T at ~2T year of output
