Think tanks only "work" if you have an enormous pool of money to fund them with. Guess what sort of policy goals the people who own this money (let's call them "capital") typically want to fund?

think tanks, much like lobbyists and the consultant class, are a parasitic wart on the system that's grown as a result of its interdependence with money

Do you think they ever realize themselves their only purpose in the world is to provide a flimsy "impartial" justifications for doing poo poo someone already wants to do but does not want to be responsible for? Or are they all true believers?
