There are two choices when one is speaking about unemployment versus Inflation. (1). One can have to pay lower price, but unemployed due to labor market contractions; or (2). Have a job, though pay higher prices.
The Americans have spoken, days before the polls are closed. They would rather to have a job, rather than being unemployed. The logic is simple, having a job will likely enable one to pay the bills. On the other hand, zero income due to unemployed will shut the door to be able to pay the bills–it does not matter how small the amount is. This is the choice of survival. Living under higher prices situation may not be the best options but it is surely a second best, especially for families with young kids, where mom or dad has to work on several jobs to keep the bread and butter on the table. Voters have used their rationale who they think will help them to keep their jobs, and their family intact. Voters have seen who helped them to cancel their unfairly charged student loans. Voters have seen who provided them with the vaccines during the pandemic-while the other side denied that Covid-19 even existed. Congrats America! You have made up your mind, based on facts-not myths.
