With the greatest appreciation for the article, and others that you have provides us. Agreeing with Rand, one is sad for the people from the past, and now. In thought, ( an analogy of sorts ). in operating ocean going search & rescue craft, we use a highly stranded woven line - This line is called Sampson Line, both flexible and stretchable to compensate for the enormous stresses.
Being a short 80 years of age, history wise, in this moment while in as much agreement as I can engage, we are at a point of extreme stress. The hope of the disabled craft personnel, and the
many time, much smaller rescue craft pilot ( coxswain ) tethered in violent wind and seas to a literal death sentence for he and crew, in case of wrong decision in the face of natures wrath.
The signals provided over the last lets note "8" years portend a fear by some and hope by others.
If one believes in divine providence, then the choice to be noted, is patience and the Sampson Line, along with the intellect of the rescue craft pilot be used appropriately.
WE have been passengers on a ship lost in the seas for endless years, the restarting of the engines
and the turning of America, a huge ship, takes time and adroit handling while in high seas. She is turning to face the seas, and if Devine Providence is deeply applied, she will swing into the wind, put the screws to work, and with the energy afforded by the Christian ethos and faith reagin her true speed and strength.
There is no other option. The line is taut, the pilot has the helm, long held skills being applied,
while patience and prayer are the succor, we who hang on must provide.

As Andrew so elequently noted: been there, done that.
