Be on the lookout for that big tax cut, on or just after election day! It's a middle class thing. Because Turnip cares all of a sudden. LOL!!!

Hell, they're not even a Constitutional Monarchy. Savage is as savage does.

The actual Caliphates (original flavour through to Ottoman) in general had many more checks and balances than the Saudi monarchy.

This also, for the daily-doble...

I wish I still possessed the bravado I had in my 20s and 30s about that possibility.

The same Secretary of State who kept giggling in front of the KSA King and who didn't want to talk facts about this case with him and who didn't want to hear and watch the tapes of the murder?

Whoops, should have read your tale before writing my own above! I've experienced Bain and McKinsey. Both were harbingers of toxic culture in what had been pretty decent places to work. They seem to be composed of people who get MBAs from the right schools but don't have much experience except posh internships. Ick.

Here's a thing: McKinsey designed the "Star/A/B/C" rating and promotion system that was in use at Enron before it went kablooey. And I once worked under this regime at another company. The idea was to identify "the very brightest (stars)" - for brightness but *not* for experience, meaning older people were not preferred - and give them all kinds of "freedom to innovate." (Imagine, conversely, being told, "You're sort of a 'B' person.") It didn't end well. So...rather stupid, AND evil. "The consultants are coming" - words that still make me nervous!

And make sure to distribute the TPS report to top brass on the way out.
