[quote=Anonymous]I'm not the pp, but I don't think he is being hysterical. According to the documented investigative journalism, Mckinsey plays both sides, often advising two competitors, or a regulator and a regulated producer.

"McKinsey has assisted opioid manufacturers, tobacco companies, fossil fuel companies, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and authoritarian governments around the world, and in each case has covered up its footprints. Again and again, McKinsey has come to town and left people worse off."

One of many examples:
"This hospital chain had been trying to bill poor patients for as much money as possible, and sure enough, halfway through the article, it reports the plan was engineered by McKinsey who came up with this new thing called “Rev-Up”—to rev the revenue by making sure that poor people didn’t know that they were eligible for free health care."

"Bogdanich and Forsythe show that many of the worst problems we face today have had McKinsey’s hand in them. The firm often advises both the companies that create problems and the governments that are trying to solve them, “playing both sides” and making a tidy sum in the process. "

"Most companies that produce a product or a service might want to brag about what they do and post big lists of all of their prominent clients, so they can show off just how successful they have been. But, as you mentioned, in the case of McKinsey, the opposite is really true. This is not conspiratorial; it’s literally that McKinsey even won’t put its name on the slides and documents. They really do make an effort to make sure that the hand of McKinsey is kept hidden from public view.

When you do finally pierce that corporate veil, you find out why they don’t like publicity. Many of their clients are deeply embarrassing, at least to people working for normal companies or normal citizens, because there’s a lot that they’ve done that they have to account for. "
