16. Jobs. First, second, and third
Wed Sep 6, 2023, 03:56 PM
Sep 2023

Jobs and inflation matter more than every other issue put together in my opinion and to my voting.

Nothing, not climate, not Equality, NOTHING matters if there aren't good paying jobs that keep pace with inflation for me and my friends and relatives.

Without a secure economy that prioritizes the middle class, nothing else matters in the slightest, at least to me.

It's the economy; any and everything else is a distant second in my book. Seen too much economic uncertainty, too much unemployment, and WAY too much inflation; anyone who doesn't support doing ANYTHING necessary to keep those in line so that workers can have the food, healthcare, and education they need, is someone I will oppose, no matter how much I like their views on anything else.

My friends, family, and co-workers who need cheap gas, good roads, low inflation, inexpensive food and readily available healthcare are what matter to me more than the entire population of any other continent.
