The likelihood that a nation or civilization will collapse is directly related to the number of laws that are imposed on the citizens who are not involved in government.
A corollary to this theory is:
Each law imposed on citizens creates a new group of criminals.
From the economic perspective:
The likelihood that a nation will collapse is directly related to the action of fellow citizens who govern and take more from the haves to give to themselves and to the have nots. Inevitably there will be few, if any, haves and many or all citizens will be have nots.
It is easier to be a have not who demands more of those who have, than it is to be a have whose labors are confiscated to meet the demands of the have nots.

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.)
