More boondoggle for the consulting class, still not a mile of operational high speed rail in the whole country

At this point just pay China to build the damn thing, everything we have is already made in China anyway what's the difference
You need unwarranted, delusional confidence to do this kind of consulting. It's the kind you can only get from a whole career's worth of sucking up and then getting sucked up to in return.
You also need to be a nepo baby. Deloitte and McKinsey are make work programs for the children of politicians and business ghouls.
The wildest thing is that all these consultants are fresh out of college. They have zero real world experience and are just paid to say "cut costs, do crime in a way that gives you plausible deniability."
I think if i had the confidence and the nepotism i could absolutely be a good consultant though. It's very much in my set of skills to say "no, that's a bad idea" or ask an llm something and choose bullshit from its responses more workable than bullet buses
