like i said in the other thread, MBB is full of the "most desirable" people to work around - great educational backgrounds, strong alumni connection, tons of prestige, and fwiw a lot of ex-consultants from these firms value the frameworks and approaches to problem solving they learned there...a lot of reasons to feel like his time there was pivotal having nothing to do with the actual work. in fact, none of my friends who left those firms during the 1-4 year mark ever cite the work as why they valued their time there
he hasn't accomplished shyt worth running for president, i don't need details on his time as mckinsey to tell me different.
They are being encouraged but why are the black leaders pushing them? Has Biden pushed any type of legislation to benefit us? Does it not matter that Biden sees southern racist republicans as friends, the two peoples names escape me right now. But you’re putting Bernie down for practically the same thing.
What about Biden considering two extremely racist republicans, who’s names escape me right now, yet you criticize sanders for something similar?
I grew up during the War in Iraq and the financial crisis, so I guess I just don't really see a lot of actual value in the credentialism and prestige of the elites who are responsible for shepherding society to the current state it's in. When I look around, I don't see a great society, and the best parts have nothing to do with the work of the MBB ilk. In fact, most of their work is aiding in the destruction of what's left of what's worthwhile in our society. I don't think these people should be running the government anymore. So when Pete touts the frameworks and approaches to problem solving he learned at the institution that aided and abetted in the gutting of the working class and helped prop up authoritarian regimes across the globe, that doesn't do much for me. I'm not moved by that. I would give him a ton of credit if he could speak critically about the fundamental limitations of applying the McKinsey-approach to governing instead of uncritically parroting the same elite self-dealing bullshyt we keep hearing from McKinsey-world and the people who rely on their access to it for self-worth.
Bernie marched with Martin Luther king and got arrested protesting for equal housing in Chicago, Biden opposed busing and worked with segregationists, he’s a typical old rich cac. Still puzzled while you ride so hard for Biden
finally an ungated article...wow, i keep forgetting how old, well young, he is. nikkas really losing their shyt over what a 24-27 yr old entry level consultant was doing
to the first part - you not caring about those things doesn't mean that's not what he valued and took away from mckinsey, that's what we're discussing, why he found that to be a pivotal starting place.
y’all have got to take articles written by Bernie supporters as 100 tru
I think Bernie, I think we fare better with him. We need left policies in place to help us, I know they aren’t gonna be a magical fix all but I believe we’ll do much better with left policies and on top of that if he or Warren truly go after corporations and the wealthy it helps us even more.
