“Rand corporation... 90% of Americans will die within 2 years after grid dysfunction. I suppose you are feeling lucky.”
Yes, I am feeling lucky that I didn’t give the Rand Corporation any of my money to produce their junk.
Rand is a think tank, nothing more. Little that comes out of there is of any scientific use. They are a what-if company, not a results driven scientific community partner.
However, they are great at getting public grant money. They’ll conclude anything you want for the right price.
No offense... really... but you have your head up your ass.
