Top Trump administration officials admitted to lawmakers during classified briefings that they had not planned for the possibility of Iran closing the passage. Multiple Democrats emerged from those meetings expressing shock and outrage at the lack of planning and justification for launching the war.

The Sound Dues (Øresundstolden) were a strategic toll levied by the Danish Crown on all foreign ships passing through the Øresund strait. Established in 1429 by King Eric of Pomerania to replace declining revenues from herring fisheries, they remained a cornerstone of Denmark's economy for over 400 years. [1, 2, 3]
How the System Worked
* Enforcement: Ships were required to anchor at Helsingør (Elsinore) to pay the toll. Refusal to stop was met with cannon fire from [Kronborg Castle](https://www.havneguide.dk/en/nordsjaell ... ound-tolls) on the Danish side and the Kärnan fortress in Helsingborg (then also part of Denmark).
* Tax Structure: Initially a flat fee per ship, the toll evolved into an ad valorem tax in 1567, charged as a percentage (typically 1–2%) of the cargo's value.
* The "Buying Rule": To prevent skippers from understating their cargo's value, the Danish Crown reserved the right to purchase the entire cargo at the price the captain declared. [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
Economic and Political Impact

Ok BV. Let's compare our definitions of Survivorship Bias and why yours is as useless as you. - Liberal Forum Political Chat Room
Deal:
Deal: Veghead claimed he already answered this question. LOL. If Veghead proves that he did indeed answer the survivorship multiple choice question below, as the question is written and asked, along with his defense of his answer, then I will agree to never come back. I am permabanned. Gone. Like a fart in the wind. If he cannot, then he is out of here for a month. Additionally, his defense cannot be "Because it fits my definition." That is a claim, not a defense. He is to defend why. His evidence must precede the timestamp upon when this challenge has been agreed upon by both parties. Moreover, he must answer immediately when the mods say "go," That next post. Not the next 600 posts. Either Cannon or Deezer mods.
Exception: I will allow for an exception. If he loses, then I will allow him to stay if he answers it the way it is asked, along with his defense. However, he must do it immediately after the deal has been decided. Not 100 posts later. The very next post of his must be his answer/defense.
Which scenario is an example of survivorship bias in evaluating business success?
A) Believing that reading business books increases revenue after finding many CEOs recommend them.
B) Concluding that most startups fail after analyzing bankrupt companies.
C) Thinking entrepreneurship is easy because most media profiles focus on successful founders.
D) Surveying customers to understand why they chose your product over competitors
