So, what determines what is a joke? The important determinant is the societal attitude and conditions at the time the joke is uttered. For example, on this 9th day of December 2023 imagine if you will a law that gives a law maker (fantasizer) the power to determine if a citizen is of “good” (or no-good) moral character. One could supine (1) that a liar or cheater or stealer can decide if someone else may or may not be a liar or cheater or stealer has moral character.
I took a SWAG (Scientific wild ass guess) and imagined that for some, not all, when you read the word supine you instantly opined what does that mean? For those the definition:
(1) Merriam-Webster: supine, definition 2; : exhibiting indolent or apathetic inertia or passivity; especially: mentally or morally slack.
Yes, this is a reality fantasies are made of.

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.
