It's not hate, it's accountablity. They are very powerful and rich institutions in the Western world that are able to make billions, of which a large part tax payers money and have in many cases a negative impact.

Maybe you didn’t intend hate. But that’s what I read into it.

The comment lacks nuance and is not the level of discussion I’d like to see on HN. It’s very much black and white, Trump-like others would say.

I'm reading a displeased comment because of a possible connection to one of the listed firms, or a similar one.

Maybe unintended. But that's what I read into it.

I think your comment is worse in nature than OP. Are you adding any counter-ideas to the conversation or just complaining? And now I'm complaining about your complaining.

Actually, I have to admit that you’re right!

The comment’s missing nuance triggered me. Also the word parasite. I should haven’t replied.

Seems to me the comment is a concise, if clearly one-sided, narrative of misaligned incentives of the consulting industry and its particular role in the difficulties that the Dutch healthcare providers experienced during the pandemic.

Hardly an appeal to hate.

No. The article this hate comment responded to talked about auditing.

McK and BCG do consultancy and don’t do auditing.

The one certifies your car is safe on the street and is held liable if they didn’t inspect properly.

The other is a car tuning operation that doesnt certify anything but gives you an edge on the racetrack. Or you hope it does.
