Diesel prices have surged over 40% year over year, pushing freight costs higher across 70% of US goods shipments and squeezing consumers further. The Strait of Hormuz blockade is cutting off fertilizer supply chains, driving agricultural prices up as half of Americans already live paycheck to paycheck.
