Connection thesis
Three independent narrative threads converge on labor market friction and policy uncertainty: (1) skilled foreign workers reconsidering US relocation, (2) economists linking AI to job displacement acceleration, (3) DOJ/DHS data sharing causing privacy officer resignations. Collectively these signal deteriorating confidence in US institutional stability and worker protections. This is upstream signal for risk sentiment, not immediate trading trigger, but reflects macro unease that typically precedes equity volatility expansion.

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