Tldr: inflation got you down? Sacrifice your quality of life, work harder, learn to be more useful to the machine. Not to poo poo the article, actually yes poo poo to the Article's thesis of "deal with reality". Raise chickens, grow vegetables, utilize off grid energy supplies you can produce and control like hybrid inverters, inverter generators, wood fueled heating & cooking. Learn to do your own taxes(it's not hard even with LLC/scorps), fix your own vehicle and appliances, purchase TOOLS not services. Self-host your media offline or collect dirt cheap DVDs/physical media, AND media players. You can record more 4k terrestrial video for free than you could watch indefinitely. Learn to enjoy watching reruns and stop paying to stream advertising. Distill and refill water bottles, 3d print replacement/repair parts and household trinkets, improve your cooking skills, go out of your way to mail, email, and call your state representatives; objecting to tax and utility hikes. Participate in protests, Vote in local elections. I could go on but there are already enough inflation mitigation methods in this post to make an article that's actually informative.
