I don’t drive, I’m mostly on a plant-based diet, and I’ve been on 100% renewable energy for years. I’m very much alive, and also am willing to believe we’re not close to double digit inflation based on my costs.
And I live in one of those high-priced metros, so I actually experienced a rent cut since everyone fled to Miami and Austin (thereby increasing prices there).
Obviously your experience may be different, but remember econometrics tracks the entire economy, not just your budget.
- vntok 5y ago> I’m mostly on a plant-based diet, and I’ve been on 100% renewable energy for years Do you believe that your way of living is representative of the average American's?

- seoaeu 5y agoThat's the thing, there is no one "average" American that this inflation number applies to! It aggregates over all of them, including the ones living on plant-based diets and using 100% renewable energy
- stephencanon 5y agoIt's exactly as representative as any other American's is. That's the nature of an average--everyone's contribution factors equally.
- iso1631 5y agoThe average american has 1 breast and 1 testicle. The term "Average American" tend to be used by people claiming to talk on behalf of them, without actually doing so (given that the "Average American" is as different from the "Average American" as everyone else)
- dgfitz 5y agoIf we’re being pedantic, less than one breast and less than one testicle. As well as less then 2 arms and less than 2 legs.
- newbamboo 5y ago“ experienced a rent cut since everyone fled to Miami and Austin ” Obviously not in a California metro where the state decided to subsidize rents to compensate for preventing evictions resulting in a windfall for landlords and massive rent increases throughout the state.
- dpe82 5y agoI experienced a significant rent reduction in San Francisco this year.
