The Hidden Cost of Diesel: Why Everything Is Expensive
Description
Diesel prices are hitting record highs — and workers are paying the price. In this segment, we look at how rising diesel costs are driving up food prices, transportation costs, heating bills and inflation, while farmers, truckers and small businesses get squeezed.
We also examine the Federal Reserve, interest rates, supply-chain disruptions and the declining labor share of income — and why workers keep absorbing the costs of an economy increasingly tilted toward capital.
