[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm reading this book right now When McKinsey Comes to Town.  McKinsey's consultants, largely made up on uber elitists from ivy league schools who live on the coasts, have for years been the architects of wealth inequality.  McKinsey consultants were the ones who came up with idea that CEOs needed to make 300x the average worker. It was McKinsey consultants who constantly pushed the idea of off shoring and downsizing that have gutted manufacturing and many middle class jobs. McKinsey consultants are also the ones who also worked for the FDA while simultaneously consulting for Purdue to supercharge sales of opioids.  And who paid the price and had their families and lives ruined? All of the poor in those areas the disgusting elitists call flyover country. In another example, McKisney also consulted for the Chinese CCP on artificial island building in the South China Sea while working for the US department of defense.  And who'll be sent into the meat grinder when there's a conflict in the SCS?  All of the poor people and their kids. There are just so many examples in the book - it's so disturbing.

And people wonder why huge swaths of America hate the liberal costal elitists. I mean just look how many McKinsey almuni infect our govt like virus (Pete Buttgeig, Lael Brainard,  etc.).  Trump has appeal because he isn't from the same swamp producing and employing the likes of McKinsey consultsnts that have been ruining the country for the last 50 years and creating massive wealth inequality.  It's largely the elite college educated, urban Democrats who choose to go work for companies like McKinsey, Wall St. etc. that have been gutting their jobs and destroying the livelihood of the middle class.

Are you sure there are not a good share of Republicans there? My bleeding heart liberal friends joined the peace corps or Teach For America . They took public defender jobs or environmental justice positions. Nothing like the corporate enablers you are describing. [/quote]

Does it matter?

The people messing up the country the most are your ivy league college educated elitists who work for management consulting firms like McKinsey and Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs. In the book, it was something crazy like 40% or something of all Harvard Business Schools grads try to apply for jobs at McKinsey.  You cannot tell me all 40% of those applicants are Republican. It's ways the Coastal Elites from 'premiere' universities like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. gutting our most vulnerable populations because they're chasing the six and seven figure salaries while providing little value to the overall economy.

Just go ahead and read the book.  I forgot about other examples, like how McKinsey consultants drove US Steel into the ground and came up management plans for cutting safety and maintenance to the bone. They pursued similar strategies at Disneyland too. And guess what, the predictable happens where multiple people ended up dying due to faulty and poor maintenance and lack of safety.  Other examples of costal elitists working for disgusting companies like McKinsey who spearheaded Walmart's strategies of cost cutting to the bone that they imposed on suppliers. It has real impacts like making one sprinkler company that was in business for 80 years or whatever going out of business because they shipped everything to China. The one poor lady working in 'flyover country' at the sprinkler factory had been at her job for like 20 years all the time moving up from a paltry $10 per hour to $15 per hour.  She was basically unemployable after losing her job due to her age.

Coastal elites ruining the country are so out of touch with the rest of America. So many swamp rats in DC, NY, etc. coming up with all sorts of ways to line their pockets while coming up with ruination strategies for the middle class.  Then they all wonder why millions of silent people across the country outside of their bubbles are so pissed off.  [/quote]
