Jesus I hate the term "think tank". Thinking is the one thing these mobs don't want people doing...
I prefer 'propaganda swamp'
That's certainly a more accurate name for them
That's exactly why they take it upon themselves to do the thinking for us, so that we don't have to!
Never mind their general lack of qualifications or any relevant lived experience, they're rich and otherwise privileged, so they must know best!
(/s to be clear)
... someone has to do the thinking. And it sure as hell isn't going to be our politicians or company directors.
They're not thinking for "us" they are thinking for the people who asked them to form a think tank.
