If it weren't for double standards, they wouldn't have any.

This is just a cheap shot to show the world that she holds Donald Trump in contempt. She's using Barron to show that she hates his father. At no point in time should a child's, even this child's, wardrobe choices affect her in any way.
Jodi Beggs is a PhD candidate in economics. She holds Masters Degrees in Engineering and one in Economics, a self-professed professional student. She was a McKinsey consultant ("danger, Will Robinson, danger!"). She is also the administrator of the Economists Do It With Models Web site, a far-too-cutesy site focused on behavioral economics and merchandise sales.

McKinsey ruined Ogilvy & Mather with its "streamlining" ideas. People who worked there, generally speaking (of course), loved the place and used to stay till all hours working because of it. Of course, that all-hours thing stopped post-McKinsey "get stingy!" initiatives, like closing "Club 12," the on-site bar (where we, by the way, paid for our drinks); ending the policy where people w/mental health issues could go for a number of therapist visits, etc. The place no longer felt like a family situation; it just became a workplace. (You're committed differently to friends and family than in pure exchange relationships -- that was the change.)

Martin Kihn's House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Then Tell You the Time is based on McKinsey. The company excels at client relations, but not client projects, sucking up to the hiring managers but not actually producing useful work products.
When I was with a rival technology consulting firm, we used to dread working with McKinsey, as they invariably produced write-ups and business cases but nothing that was actually useful for the technology implementation on which we were supposed to be collaborating. We did all the work and they took all the credit.
