Trail
Connection thesis
Supply-side cost shocks (refinery disruption + input inflation) are forcing permanent capacity exits. New Orleans refinery explosion compounds existing fuel tightness signaled by Lammes Candies closure (141yr business killed by soaring raw material costs). Both point to stagflationary pricing power — suppliers cannot pass costs forward indefinitely before demand destruction forces shutdown. This validates the Fuel Math narrative: capacity cuts ARE permanent, not cyclical.
