So having an economy in with the unemployment rate being the lowest it's been in decades is a bad thing? Would you rather have low economic growth and millions of people out of work? Would that that make you happy?

I'd rather have an economy that's "too hot" with inflation that needs to be slowed down than having people not getting a pay cheque at all. Slowing down an economy that's doing "too well" is preferable IMHO to one that's causing suffering.

But that's just me.

The slowing down now will cause more suffering than a slow economy during covid would have been.

They are raising rates but inflation is not going down at all.

Until it does there is not just "low economic growth" but rather economic contraction and even more out of work than if they did just let economy take its natural course and correction during covid.

Will that make you happy?

A slow economy during a pandemic would create so much social strife and unrest... Imagine for a second if people didn't have a job, couldn't get out of the house, didn't get any money to buy food and/or pay rent. Do you think any society would have endured 2+ years of pandemic emergency actions while going through a deep recession?

The economy are people's lives, not just numbers to be balanced. Keep that in mind, empathy goes a long way to help understand human systems.
