Sorry Klein, bad joke about economics having basic logarithms and economic theory being a threat to national security. Of course I would at least ask. I've read enough of those papers to make me want to cry in my salad though. On the way back from Rwanda I actually met a dude who was pretty high up in the U.S. military. He served on peacekeeping missions in the Congo and stuff, and you bet he was opinionated on Trump. He knew a bunch of former colleagues that ended up promoted in the Department of State because they basically played the game. Shifted their plans in support of the new leader. It was an interesting perspective into how the inside of the government actually works and how the chain of command functions.
