We shot those pigs and then buried them and left them to rot. No one got that meat.
Then a bunch of idiots who can’t read basic statistics complain about inflation and the rising cost of meat a few months / years later.
That’s the ‘Transitory’ argument to inflation. That the meat was a temporary blip. Fortunately (???) I think it turns out that other bits of inflation ended up being real so the 5.25% rate hike remained a good idea. But the meat and eggs inflation was likely a direct result of our COVID-19 emergency plans.
