Monarchy of the United Kingdom

The Monarchy of the United Kingdom, now Queen Elizabeth II, is the the head of state of the United Kingdom, the Crown dependencies (the Bailiwick of Guernsey, the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Isle of Man) and the British Overseas Territories, as well as the supreme governor of the Church of England. The Queen and her family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. As the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to functions such as bestowing honors and appointing the prime minister, which are performed in a non-partisan manner. The monarch is also Head of the British Armed Forces. Though the ultimate executive authority over the government is still formally by and through the royal prerogative, these powers may only be used according to laws enacted in Parliament and, in practice, within the constraints of convention and precedent. The Government of the United Kingdom is known as *Her (His) Majesty's Government*.

Though she is supposed to have no power and let the democratic government rule for her, the Queen and other members of the Royal family are involved in politics and have interfered numerous times(though not by exercising the actual powers of the monarchy). More than 1,000 laws have been vetted by the Queen or Prince Charles through a secretive procedure before they were approved by the UK’s elected members of parliament, focusing on subjects such as justice, social security, pensions, race relations and food policy through to obscure rules on car parking charges and hovercraft. The Queen also meets regularly with foreign world leaders, has established various close relationships with the media, and has used her platform to voice various opinions that are clearly political, though they usually attempt to be non-partisan.

The Queen is the Patron of hundreds of charities, and is worth tens of millions and possibly hundreds of millions of pounds. The British Crown Estate, with holdings of £14.3 billion in 2019, is an estate with many properties the queen and royal family have access to and profit from, but do not own.

McKinsey

McKinsey & Company is an American management consulting firm, founded in 1926 by University of Chicago professor James O. McKinsey, that advises on strategic management to corporations, governments, and other organizations. McKinsey is the oldest and the largest of the "Big Three" management consultancies, the world's three largest strategy consulting firms by revenue. McKinsey recruits primarily from the world’s top business schools, like Harvard, Stanford, Wharton, Kellogg, and Booth. McKinsey publishes a business magazine, the *McKinsey Quarterly,* and its consultants have authored many books. McKinsey currently serves 2/3rds of the Fortune 1000 companies

McKinsey operates an in-house hedge fund, McKinsey Investment Office, which has been criticized for potentially allowing a conflict of interest between McKinsey consultants inside knowledge and the fund. It has also been associated with the collapse of Enron and the 2007-2008 financial crisis and has worked for Purdue Pharma, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and authoritarian regimes like Saudi Arabia.

McKinsey is organized in a relatively decentralized way, with high degrees of autonomy for individual offices. It does not have a traditional headquarters. It's latest managing partner and leader(who will take the position in July, 2021), is Bob Sternfels.

The Democratic Party

The Democratic party is one of two main political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is a liberal party, supportive of capitalism but more economically interventionist than the Republicans, more supportive of rights and equality for women, racial and ethnic minorities, immigrants, and LGBTQ+ people, slightly less pro-military, and slightly closer to unions. However, the key to understanding how America's political system reinforces a ruling class is based on what the parties agree on and what voters cannot choose, which is decided based on the anti-democratic forces that influence them both.
Richest Americans

America has the most billionaires of any country on earth, the largest economy on earth, and is usually the home of the richest person and has been for many years. The United States is also the global superpower, militarily, economically, politically, and culturally. As the elites of the most elite country on earth, these people should be analyzed as they are some of the most powerful people in the world, not just America.

## Mirage

**Mirage** is a principal character in the Transformers live-action films, first appearing one of the two deuteragonists (alongside Elena Wallace) of the 2023 film *Transformers: Rise of the Beasts*. He is the best friend of Noah Diaz and a member of the Autobot resistance with the ability to create holographic images/illusions and transform into a Porsche 964 RS.

He is voiced by Pete Davidson, a veteran actor from *Saturday Night Live*. He is also known as the voice of *Marmaduke* and for his portrayal as Blackguard in *The Suicide Squad*.

## Personality

Mirage is the Autobot equivalent of a teenager. He is friendly, intelligent, and elusive due to his ability to turn invisible and create duplicates of himself. He tries befriending Noah Diaz, a young man who mistook him for being very expensive Porsche that he was intending to steal and sell to support his family.

Mirage offered a fist bump and insisted they were friends when Noah did. Mirage is also loyal to the Autobot cause and his friends. He has been a spy and a recon soldier for centuries and protects his charge at all costs. However, he is rebellious, disobeying Optimus Prime's orders to remain hidden to humans by revealing him to Noah in the first place. He constantly makes jokes, is immature, and not thinking of the consequences.

Despite his flaws, Mirage is still a noble Autobot and fiercely protective of his friends, sacrificing himself to protect Noah by shielding him from Scourge's fire until was later repaired.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce

The United States Chamber of Commerce is a business-oriented lobbying group. The Chamber is the largest lobbying group in the U.S., spending more money than any other lobbying organization on a yearly basis. They primarily support Republicans, as well as conservative Democrats.

The US Chamber of Commerce was created by President Taft as a counterbalance to the labor movement of his time. It has around 300,000 member organizations, or as many as 3,000,000 according to some counts, if members of smaller chambers of commerce that pay dues are included, though this number has been generally retracted and refuted.

An American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) abroad is a voluntary association of U.S. enterprises and individuals doing business in a given country as well as firms and business executives of that country who operate in the United States. In AmChams, business people of the United States and host countries organize and promote their mutual interests. The main activity of an AmCham is to provide services to member firms and business executives who support the organization.

The Kennedy family is an American political family that has long been prominent in American politics, public service, entertainment, and business. At least one Kennedy family member served in federal elective office in every year from 1947, when P. J. Kennedy's grandson, John F. Kennedy, became a member of Congress from Massachusetts, to 2011, when P. J. Kennedy's great-grandson, Patrick J. Kennedy, retired as a member of Congress from Rhode Island, a span of 64 years. Every Kennedy elected to public office has served as a Democrat, while other members of the family have worked for the Democratic Party or held Cabinet posts in Democratic administrations.
