The Warren Buffett's $80 Billion Profit
This is simply astonishing: "The most profitable U.S. company by far is the Berkshire Hathaway, the insurance conglomerate run by billionaire Warren Buffett. At over $80 billion in 2019 profits, Berkshire Hathaway is more profitable than any company worldwide except for oil giant Saudi Aramco" which logs close to $90 billion as profit.
JM Morgan Chase pulled in $12.1 billion in Q4 2020, and for a bank not in China, that is a lot of money on fees, interests, etc. I remind you of that poem you read in secondary school -The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge - with that line “Water, water, every where,. Nor any drop to drink”, you will ask “lots of money everywhere, yet people are dying of problems money can solve!”
JPMorgan Chase closed out 2020 with a record-breaking fourth-quarter profit of $12.1 billion as big banks got a boost from releasing loan loss provisions.

Despite a strong showing from JPMorgan, CEO Jamie Dimon says the bank is still bracing for “significant near-term economic uncertainty."
