šŗšøš EndGame Macro: This chart signals a freight shock unfolding at near-Depression velocity. A 49% drop in global container bookings and 64% collapse in U.S. imports within one week mirrors the kind of disruption seen after the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act except what took months to manifest in the Great Depression is now happening in real-time.
The synchronized plunge in U.S.āChina trade lanes (imports down 64%, exports down 36%) confirms that the retaliatory tariff war is already constricting cross-border logistics, with downstream consequences for inventories, inflation prints, and FX liquidity.

471TO has brilliantly framed it: this is a 1930 redux except faster, more synchronized, and more intentional. Heās been ahead of this entire unfolding macro regime, from credit tightening to trade war timing to dollar reflexivity. If you arenāt already following him, correct that now. This isnāt just noise this is the start of a global trade breakdown.
