Your quote states quite clearly that inflation was indeed expected.
At most, the claim was that the impact on inflation would not be permanent, which is a blatant truism. Nevertheless, that is not OP's claim.
- cseoensdiebs 5y agoYou have been making these pedantic semantic arguments on all the replies in this thread. It’s pretty annoying. We all know that the NYT has been downplaying inflation concerns, lockdown concerns, etc. since the start of the pandemic. Just because what was posted doesn’t literally line up with OPs exact wording in every way doesn’t make the underlying sentiment wrong.
