Meh, I just like banging numbers together and making graphics of the results if a topic catches my interest. If we set the baseline for inflation at 1965, no company has ever hit $500 billion (I chose '65 because that’s the year the U.S. stopped using silver in coinage).

Also, this is a wildly inappropriate use case for logarithmic scaling, so why not give that a try?

Well done! These numbers have been thoroughly banged.
I suggest you apply for a job in . . . politics.
