The Think Tanks are, themselves, the problem.

"Shit’s tainting the sewer system" ass title. Think tanks exist to launder the policies oligarchs want implemented. It’s not a bug, it’s not even a feature, it’s the very reason this system exists and operates the way that it does

I assumed that was the point of think tanks.

They are all paid. So tend to exist to further corporate interests. Such interests rarely align with society as a whole.

It is basically paying smart people, to lobby the voters, as well as politicians.
