For liberals, progressives, democrats and many republicans the “means” in the expression “means to an end” are the reward or the end result that they want to achieve. The “end” in the expression “means to an end” is not relevant since applying the “means” is what they want.
E.G. Kathleen Sebelius, why did she want the authority to make the decision that pertains to her comment “some live and some die”. It wasn’t the future or end of her life she was deciding. It was the life of Sarah Murnaghan.
For conservatives the “end” is the goal. Because that is the reason for the exercise.

Hibiscus. First orange bloom 2026. No explanation why it hibernated 9 months through the warm seasons. Enjoy the beauty.

Goal: Increase knowledge of economic reality preserving life through tariffs war. My hypothesis explained here in an example is the loss of life of passengers on the Titanic. The loss would have been substantially fewer if there had been a tariff of 100% and more on the price of tickets. Recommendation: Adopt the policy to save lives with tariffs by charging only enough tariffs to save 100% of lives. Expect this methodology to work almost perfectly achieving the intent for applying the tariff.
Warning label: Side-effects are certain to result in the diminishment (diminution) of quality or entirety of life. *
Supposition: The side-effect may over time result in a similar amount of life diminution as the actual event that occurred with the iceberg. AN OPINION

The clue woven into the yarn, "history repeats itself" is that the "story" has been told before. Sometimes ingenuity (responsibility) can reveal what the repetition point will be (begin/end) since it is known that the current story is metaphorically, figuratively or elsewise plagiarized from history. The curtain dropping end is the only part of the performance that will happen only once.
Unpredictables shall be called "miracles". They are not foreseeable (predictable), so their effect has a case-by-case impact on the performance of reality.
No such word I predict this moment but not always.
OPINION. Historically consistent. That qualifies me for classification as opinionated.)
