I really don't see the problem here. In Denmark McKinsey consultants advise the government at a fairly high level. Most of the consultants are Danes and had they not worked for McKinsey they would work for another consultancy (or the g

I had a traumatic experience with homebrew in the early days where it killed my system to the point where I had to do a fresh OS install. Also I find their beer-making jargon annoying.
