Used to be. Quite a while ago. Might want to catch up on why they aren't 
anymore.

Not even close. Largest companies by market cap are:
1. Apple
2. Exxon Mobil (which hasn't been Standard Oil since 1911)
3. Berkshire Hathaway
4. Google
5. Microsoft
6. Petro China
7. Wells Fargo
8. Johnson & Johnson
9. ICBC
10. Novartis

Facebook is in the next 10, and Disney is nowhere near there.

degeneracy that has befallen the mentally ill?

I don't mass produce. Not every business does mass production.
