Americans: Locking up tourists, threatening allies with invasion, insulting friends at every opportunity, cozying up to their enemies Also Americans: Why do fewer people want to visit us? It's so weird, how could this possibly happen

Found a bug in PerfectTablePlan that has probably been there for 15 years and has never been reported. There is a relatively easy workaround, so I guess no-one bothered to email me.
