“Labor crunch” = “need to raise salaries to attract people”

Yep, and that will in turn raise the prices of goods and services.

Yes it will, but you could always open up the borders like Germany and let illegals start driving trucks at minimum wage to keep prices down.

That's the swamp way of doing things. And it has hurt Americans for years.

Not that much. 40,000 pounds of beef with a 10 cent per pound increase in freight would generate an additional $4000 in revenue.

LOL! By an infinitesimal unnoticeable tiny fraction. The cost of fuel is more important to costs than paying the drive a couple, of bucks an hour more.....
