Assuming $18T (static) US dept, apple can pay it in 85 years?

Definitely not. There is a possibility that it will sour your relationship with your boss (why take the risk?). Best to quietly find another job and resign in the appropriate manner and move on.

The "ask HN" section is usually very informative and useful, ie. dealing with problems, finding work, recommending products etc.

I'm not sure a "show HN" section would have the same overall value for the community.
