In most of the recent stories about abuse of women what has been missing? Individual courage.
A current example is Alec Baldwin who was interviewed by PBS “journalist” Jeffery Brown. The following quote reveals Mr. Baldwin’s failure to demonstrate courage when given the opportunity: “When women take money and are silenced by that money, even though they took the money and were silenced because they were told, beyond the money, it was the right thing for them to do, keep quiet, don’t make too many waves, it is going to hurt your career, when they do it, nonetheless, does it set back the cause of change?”
To be courageous Baldwin would have made a definitive statement. Not an open question. A statement would have required courage.
It is logical to declare that if a person does not raise an issue, the issue will not be addressed. Therefore, the cause remains static.
Even more important in this situation is what will be the impact of the decision on the individual’s principles. Some may call those principles the individual’s soul. Mr. Baldwin may be using the same argument used by the abuser to obtain a settlement. That argument is, “it is going to hurt your career”. It may hurt an individual’s career to make the complaint. The more important question for the individual is, what will the decision do to your principles therefore their soul? Will the individual compromise themself?

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.)

Canada has focused on the cow for a hoof in the door of dairy (milk/cheese) supply management*.
U.S. has focused on the steer for a horn in the door of beef supply management*.
Both (all) governments focus on everything it can dream of to force its laws on everyone it can. Each a micro story of the macro rule of man which is evidenced by a propensity to build a Tower of Babel of/to their own cause for survival of man. Particularly the men they know they are themselves.
So, we continue on a trail of our existence.
