And you get fired from your job because demand for it disappears. Amazing.

  Demand doesn't disappear. People still want the things they want. They just might not be wiling to pay as much as others would like them to. Lower the prices, and suddenly those people can justify (or even simply afford) satisfing the demand that never went away. People spending leads to more jobs.

      As if prices are going to come down. If the companies who have been making record profits refuse to accept making a little less profit and won't lower prices how long will you have to wait to buy something cheaper.
