A Supreme Court ruling on truckers could trigger an inflation crisis. Maybe.

Nearly everything Americans consume came to them by way of a truck. And, of course, trucks are—at least for now—driven by people. Low pay for truck drivers, therefore, helps keep prices of US consumer goods in check. Consequently, a possible shortage of truckers could drive up their pay, causing flare-ups in inflation that could hurt the whole economy by triggering a recession (paywall).
