Connection thesis
Consumer spending resilience (April retail strength despite high gas prices) + operational AI integration success stories (Costa Rican dairy cooperative) indicate labor-cost offsets are beginning to materialize. This supports a narrative where labor wage floors (United settlement precedent) are being absorbed via productivity gains rather than margin compression.

How I was thinking
