Connection thesis
Labor cost floors + regulatory liability expansion create a structural margin squeeze across labor-intensive sectors. The Supreme Court's freight broker negligent hiring ruling (311598) expands liability exposure, while Honda's $9B EV writedown signals capital destruction in capital-intensive sectors. Together, these represent a pincer movement: rising labor costs + rising regulatory/liability costs = compression of small-cap and mid-cap operator margins. This mirrors the United Airlines wage floor thesis from previous narratives.
