    Thanks for taking the time to explain all that. I’m still lost though. How the hell is the inflation, that I and all my friends and family are experiencing, 10 times higher than the national average? Like, all our rents got bumped up even without moving, supposedly due to energy prices surging. This is obviously a rethorical question, that I don’t expect you to answer.
