Given that all of those things have increased in cost at rates far beyond 2%, I don't really see how you blame that on the inflation of the USD as a whole. They have their own systemic problems attributing to their astronomical costs.

My point is inflation isn't being measured in a way that actually matters to people worried about more than buying groceries and a new laptop.

If all those things were included in the measurement inflation would be way over 2%.
