A rich text this, my favourite being the use of the word 'Karens' to describe commodities traders.
Might have to amend 'all stories are about management, other than the ones that are about commodities' to 'all stories are actually about people's weird views on gender'.
Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
So we use simple sentences, dot point lists and simple phrasing because clear simple phrasing might help you when you're scared, tired and sick
