This isn't true. If there's less stuff being made then prices go up and people get to buy fewer things. Which is roughly what happened during covid.

But even then the following prices plumeted: hotels, travels, vacations, etc. And in general, the CPI for the hardest part of the event (march, april and may of 2020) was negative: demand fell even more than the offer, and prices went down.
