Maximum Commercial Entropy
It is in the nature of commoditization that all tradable goods eventually ship in containers. More and more, the goods don't ever leave the containers, in fact. The shipping container quite simply represents goods at maximum commercial entropy. So the commercial, globalized equivalent of heat death is a world simply made out of shipping containers. Yes, of course there's a subculture that is looking forward to this.
