PCC could be worth $100 billion. BRK's market cap is about $1 trillion.  

To put that in perspective: The likely value of Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) in Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio is estimated between $100 billion and $200 billion, based on its consistent earnings and comparable industry valuations.

Wow, I love blogging! And with chatbots blogging is going to be incredible!
