In reply to the discussion: Hunter Biden Denies Any 'Ethical Lapse' in His Ukraine and China Work [View all]Otto Lidenbrock
(581 posts)23. From Jacobin - the Bernie Sanders campaign mouthpiece
Elizabeth Warrens daughter, Amelia Tyagi, with whom she has coauthored two best-selling books, has come a long way from her moms humble Oklahoma origins. Tyagi is now a founder and CEO of a consultancy called the Business Talent Group. Like Mayor Pete (BOOTEdgeEdge), shes also worked as a consultant for McKinsey, a secretive consulting firm that has been rightly blamed for some of the worst miseries of working life at many major corporations. Journalist Duff McDonald, who wrote a book about the company, said McKinsey might be the single greatest legitimizer of mass layoffs. While the capitalist class already approved of layoffs in tough economic times, McDonald told Time magazine in a 2013 interview, McKinsey helped get them comfortable with the idea of layoffs in prosperous times simply to juice profits. Even the respectable Time interviewer couldnt help observing that this sounded evil.
Tyagi also cofounded HealthAllies, a venture capitalbacked health benefits firm which was eventually acquired by United Health Group. It makes you wonder: how likely is Warren to go all in for Medicare for All, a reform deeply opposed by most of the health insurance industry, when someone so close to her, an intellectual partner and colleague as well as a daughter, has been a heath care profiteer and still works as a management consultant to corporate America?

Your accusation of nepotism is false. Completely false. Why make the accusation if it isn't true?
