Connection thesis
Starbucks layoff (300 corporate) signals labor cost pressure in service sector, while United Airlines simultaneously expands capacity (new Japan routes). This tests whether corporations can cut overhead while maintaining growth—a bet that efficiency gains offset wage-floor constraints. If both moves stabilize earnings despite labor inflation, small-cap labor-intensive pain (IWM test) may be overstated.

How I was thinking
