As a sub-question, what does "largest company in America" mean?
Company whose United-States-based (employees/assets/offices) are maximal?
OR
Company whose global assets are maximal, then restricted to ones with
US headquarters?
IOW, is it based solely on the corporate assets held within America?
Is "largest company in America" not go to an IBM, for instance (dunno
what the comparative market caps are, and I'm not going to check :)
because while their overall numbers may be higher than Wal-Mart, their
intra-America ones are lower? Is an IBM (or whoever) invalidated from
that list for having foreign offices in the first place?
Meaningless rambles as I wait for a compile :)
