McKinsey & Company (informally McKinsey or McK) is an American multinational strategy and management consulting firm that offers professional services to corporations, governments, and other organizations. Founded in 1926 by James O. McKinsey, McKinsey is the oldest and largest of the "MBB" management consultancies (MBB). The firm mainly focuses on the finances and operations of their clients.
The Big Three or MBB is the name colloquially given to the three large strategy consulting firms. They are considered to be the most prestigious firms in the management consulting industry.[1] In terms of employees, McKinsey & Company is the largest and leads by revenue. McKinsey is followed by Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Company, respectively.
Bain & Company. Hmmm. Where have I heard that name before?

Oh c'mon. Don't be bashful.
Does it make you more comfortable answering to know that McKinsey was involved in consultations with ICE to facilitate deportations?

They were also " using Enron as their sandbox" (according to the Guardian)... Enron having been created by a McKinsey consultant ... when Enron collapsed into bankruptcy after multiple incidences of fraud.

The Obama administration set up the ICE contracts.

Amazing! A one-man circle jerk! You are such my bitch!!!
It seems like there's a lot of confusion as to what "the establishment" is. A lot of people think it just means 'rich.' Which is somewhat accurate considering the vast, vast majority of rich people support Democrats. The cognitive dissonance on display as they shit on working class people being poor for voting Trump while bragging about the highly educated high earners supporting Democrats is fascinating.
But what do you think?
Is this an example of the establishment?
Even more worryingly, the agenda of the Summit has been unduly influenced by US-based consultancy firm McKinsey & Company. The lead of African officials and ministers has been pushed on the backburner.
These developments are seriously unsettling.
The Summit concept note, as proposed by McKinsey & Company, reflects the interests of the US, McKinsey and the western corporations they represent. Meanwhile, Africa’s stated priorities are conspicuously missing, as a result.
Moreover, the so-called “think tanks committee” set up to drive negotiations at the Summit is chaired by individuals who represent UK and US-based organisations and not African organisations.

There's not confusion, it's intentionally undefined so that it can mean anything. Kinda like deep state, or woke.
For Trump supporters it's anything or anyone we don't like.

I have been. It's ironic you post such a clueless thing in a thread where I'm asking you for your thoughts on the establishment.
Here's the most important thing you could learn (which you won't.)
Reality is where you and I agree.
Here. Let me try to help your 2 cylinder brain function.
Is this an example of the establishment yes or no?
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.

You're not even trying anymore. You've given up. You know you're full of shit so you're just leaning in.
By all means. Expand on how McKinsey's actions for the past *checks notes* 98 years is "one data point."
I'll wait.
You know Current Affairs is a progressive/socialist source right? The two journalists being discussed in that article work for the NY Times?
You know McKinsey is big on fossil fuels right?
Does this make it easier for you to see them as "establishment" figures Fidds? I know that's the primary driver of your information. Left wing approved sources.

I already did in that other thread where you wandered around like John Travolta in Pulp Fiction looking confused.
And the fact that you really don't give a shit is why you're so clueless about today's zeitgeist and political atmosphere.
I've spent the past 8 years trying to get leftists to "give a shit" about these issues that are important to half the country. Welcome to not giving a shit about what's important to half the country autreyu. I hope you enjoy your ride.

Sounds woke to me. Just define it here, I'm not going thread hopping just to find out you didn't actually define it. Sure! Altho it misses the point. Kind of your forte'.
The point to the thread is ... what do YOU define as the establishment?
But I'll give you my definitions again. I've always had a soft spot for the soft headed.
“It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new. This coolness arises partly from fear of the opponents, who have the laws on their side, and partly from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in new things until they have had a long experience of them.”
Who is Machiavelli defining as the establishment?
I submit Queshank's interpretation: I see people like TL try to convince the boards that the government bureaucracy, our national defense apparatus, our nation's universities, all of the major platforms from hollywood to the major tv networks ... isn't the establishment.
And it's one of the biggest tells for programming operating today.

I see, I remember that B.S. now. If you have to interpret it, it isn't really a definition is it?
