The claim was "No one has extra money to travel and stay in AirBnBs".
Americans on average have plenty of money to do so. You're just arguing with the BEA definition of disposable income... which I guess is a perspective, but IMHO not a useful one. We could look at real household median income, which is also up https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N.

- ch4s3 3y agoThis is insanely pedantic, you must be a blast at parties. But, income has almost been tracking inflation. So plenty of people have extra money for travel.
