But these large tech companies are also the reason America still exists.

Without their multi-trillion dollar valuations the U.S. national debt would become unsustainable pretty quickly. Investors look at the potential profitability of a nation to decide whether its debt can be financed.

So be careful what you wish for!

Without these companies we'd have a large workforce freed up to do something worthwhile. It's not like the people would disappear.
