Real question: how many f*cking think-tanks do these guys need?

They're otherwise unemployable, so it's like a make work project with no real outputs.

It's the only explanation I could think of, but it's not quite right, because these goons always have options, they home in on sectors where the bar is low as long as you have no ethics

I wonder if the goal of the think tank isn't also to put a veneer of academia/not business on their CVs?

quioui.bsky.social•22 days ago

I don't know, I think it is more about getting connections and then getting work in one of these sectors I was just mentioning. It is academia and industry (and politics) that bring cred to the think tank, not the other way around, because anyone can start one if these things (as we see)

I'm wondering if Farage couldn't get enough of a role at ARC so he had to start his own. https://www.arcforum.com/

(OK, it's not a *real* real question because the answer is basically "as many as they can create")
