“Thanks for your insights on China, they will help me plan our national strategy.”

There are a number of wealthy people in this country with outsize egos but not much common sense.
These people are willing to fork over hundreds of thousands of dollars to political campaigns if politicians and staff will pretend to take them seriously, even for a few minutes at a time. “Thanks for your insights on China, they will help me plan our national strategy.” No, they won’t, and 99.999% of the things that rich donors tell politicians will be laughed at, ignored and trashed—though staffers will be assigned to write letters maintaining the illusion that the donor’s half-educated ramblings have somehow been incorporated in something official. - - The Soul-Sick Leadership Elite in America
