The superiors of the world who are actually just clones on Winston Churchill.
The government is being very suspicious.
A Lowest Bidder's or Military Grade standard of consistent and adequate, but otherwise unimpressive work, without the quality of a competitive market. A done job. Not well done, but done.

Rich idiot: “Let’s make up dinosaur’s and then ask for Government Cheese to give us Money to research them”. Or “let’s create movies with Serial Killers in them then ask for Government Cheese to research the problem”. Or “buy more Government cheese with Chinas Money”.
Saying something even worse then what actually happened (still usually bad but not necessarily) to subvert expectations and make someone less upset about the second thing.
Person A: "I accidentally scratched your car."
Person B: "What!?! How bad is it?!"
Person A: "Actually, I just scraped your side mirror, but it should be fine. I was just pulling a government to subvert your expectations.”
