    Is that why we can't get anyone to stop the mass invasion from the south? We always hear that big business wants them here even though we keep exporting the jobs there. We all know that regular Joe Schmoes don't want them here living off of our tax money, so it has to be the business angle right?

    That explains why W. Bush was for all intents and purposes a bleeding heart moron who didn't care if our country went straight down the crapper.

    The government is just fucking out of control. Stop ONE payment of aid to some stupid country that none of us care about and give that money to the 9/11 responders. None of us would be against it. Hell, we own GM so give them some Escalades too while they are at it.

    The whole black thing is just a waste of breath now, nobody cares. Done and over with. The end. Finito. Kaput. History.

    You guys can give reasoned and well thought out opinions, people like me and the rest of the wackos in the interview videos in another thread are just going to call bullshit on all of you and wait for you to realize that you were wrong. It will be too late of course, but I will be old when it happens and will just be the crazy old guy talking about how things used to be.

    Not sure those bolded phrases belong together, myself.

    You just haven't met the right consultants. There's a big difference between the BCG, Bain, McKinsey & AD Little guys and the rest of consulting firms out there.

    There's a difference between:

    1. getting a Yale MBA (or Harvard Law degree for example) through legacy or Affirmative Action, then becoming the CEO of the most powerful superpower on the planet Earth through one's own merits.

    2. having Mommy and Daddy buy you a Yale MBA (or Harvard Law degree for example) then using that degree to become the CEO of a major consulting firm/equity group rather than through one's own merits.

    Well, in fees charged sure.

    But there's probably no better example of an industry created where there has never really been a serious need for it's services. In my many years with the Feds I met and was unimpressed with countless private sector consultants and they were all morons. Every last one of them a complete waste of space, and your tax dollars.

    Maybe. I don't know much about Bain but I've met some McKinsey people. Basically, I think if some newly minted MBA can teach you something about your business then you aren't very damn good at it. But I haven't ever paid any of them, so perhaps there's more to it than I know about.

    The winnowing process is brutal in management consulting firms. It's no wonder you weren't impressed by the new employees. The associates are there to collect the data and to recognize patterns for when they advance in the organization. It's the engagement managers that do the real work. The partners are there to massage management and to ensure the engagement managers have all the tools they need at their disposal and to act as an intellectual backstop. Good consultants are like good psychologists--eventually you see the same actions again and again and learn what works and what doesn't. These companies are essentially management knowledge centers.
