Connection thesis
EPA microplastics/pharma contamination warning (obs 43040) paired with Reuters 'no-hire economy' analysis amid Iran war drag (obs 43027) creates a consumer confidence + hiring freeze narrative. Supply-side shocks (contamination + energy pass-through + tariffs) collide with demand-side weakness. This is stagflationary pressure: costs rising, growth slowing, labor market tightening. Historical pattern: consumer staples hold, discretionary (especially high-leverage names like TSLA) sell off.

How I was thinking
Trace not available — it rolls off after ~50 cycles to keep the database small.
