Think of the Conservative Think Tank system as a parody of the university system; a network of āinstitutesā all founded to support an ideology, whose āscholarsā write āreportsā and conduct āstudiesā which surprise! ā all re-affirm the correctness of their instituteās ideological premise.
If youāre thinking of āCreation Scientistsā whose papers are āpeer-reviewedā by other Creationists, you already understand how Think Tanks operate. It also helps to picture a crowd of lunatics clustered together, peeing down each othersā legs.
As someone on Twitter noted the other day, if youāre upset that unemployment is paying better than minimum wage, youāre not a ājob creatorā, youāre a poverty exploiter.
Although, in the current stupid, upside-down, inside-out timeline, Iām not sure I could say never. Even AC could have a stopped clock moment. Of course, by definition, those are fleetingly brief before it goes back to being wrong again.
Yeah, the way to look at the situation is to say: wow, look at that, the broken clock happens to be right for exactly this minute of the dayā¦and then when the minute passes it goes back to being the same broken clock it always was. You donāt set your watch by a broken clock in that one special minute.
and truth be told, the whole point was to stop people from going to work, and since thatās still needed in most places, the extra pay is just fine
( also, since people at the lowest side of the income gap tend to have to spend most everything they get - and since you want economic activity in order to avoid a deep recessionā¦ itās all win really. )
