Those working in government lose their perspective by forgetting (or ignoring) that laws affect citizens two ways. Some will be helped by the laws. Some will be hurt, perhaps even fatally by those laws. When law writers enact laws that are to help (protect) themselves, the number of citizens they are hurting increases significantly.
Once upon a time the outcome of such behavior by the governing was demonstrated effectively after the comment "Let them eat cake." (1). Ultimately citizens took a more dramatic approach to resolve their plight of hunger. Their action was not a piece of cake or brioche. In a strangely perverse sense, the WEF and EU are metaphorically (or actually) mimicking the same behavior at this point in history that was roiling France at the time of their revolution. Hopefully their system is flexible enough to swing the pendulum of history away from or to reverse its current trajectory.
The same applies in the U.S. Those in government have succumb to their own fantasies. They are behaving as if they have deemed themselves royalty. Hopefully the future can be determined by the citizens peacefully. History has demonstrated what the ultimate end will be. Whether that end is reached peacefully or not is the work in progress. History is famous for its ability to repeat itself.
It never fails.

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.
*Monopolistic structure.
