Who do you think ordered and paid for the report? Virtually everything RAND does is paid for by the US government, mostly the defense & state departments. The space between RAND and the government is paper-thin, with virtually no sunlight. It’s not called a “military-industrial complex” for nothing.
I'm aware. A think tank is still not the government, even if they're extremely closely intertwined. Don't piss in my face and tell me it's raining.
Dumb and wrong and complete misuse of that phrase, take a lap
