Sticking to just the topic of chaos, let’s attempt to quantify it. At 91%, the turnover in his “A” team is the highest among the last 7 president. At 100%, the turnover of cabinet posts is 20% higher than the next highest, HW Bush’s, which itself 20% higher than Reagan’s which is itself 20% higher than Clinton’s. Bush had the lowest at 20%.

I curious about other documented quantitative measurements of presidential entropy.

As a side note: I disagree with most of what you wrote, but I respect the thought you put into it and your effort and remaining civil.

So since google employees have an median tenure of 1.1 year then that means google is even more chaotic organization than the US government. Should laws be "engineered" to prevent organizations like google because there is some sort of ephemeral "chaos" problem with it? Or is it that you are politically predisposed to wanting and needing a strong, lets call it, central committee, to centrally plan things and worker turnover doesn't count towards "chaos"

Wouldn't you want to look at the Google executive, rather than the full set of employees?

Would you invest in a company that changed CEOs every month week?

Please note that I didn’t make a value judgement of the chaos. I simply observed it.

Edit: I suppose chaos could have a negative connotation. I used the term in the sense GP used it, i.e. chaos engineering.

As for the inference that because I don’t agree with you I am a communist then I am a Communist, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are just having a bad day.
