🏗️ Scene One: America’s Busiest Ports, Now Ghost Towns

Los Angeles. Long Beach. Seattle. Once roaring with cranes, now eerily quiet.
Since the high Trump-era tariffs hit Chinese imports, container bookings plunged 50%. Hundreds of thousands of containers—canceled. Ships—stranded. Ports—silenced.

“The term slowdown is an understatement. This is a real-time disaster.”— Pacific Port Authority Manager

📉 Scene Two: Collapse in Motion

🔻 35–40% drop in West Coast port traffic
🔻 400,000+ containers removed from shipping schedules
🔻 800,000+ logistics-related jobs now at risk
🔻 Truckers’ income falling from $12K to $5K/month
🔻 Major retailers running on 2–3 months of inventory

“Two months ago, we had too much cargo. Now I can't pay rent.”— 
Independent trucker in California

💥 Scene Three: Inflation Hits Home
