No, they don't, and that's exactly why raising prices when demand drops is economically sound. Scarcity creates value. Lower prices when demand weakens and you train consumers to wait for discounts. Why reward patience with cheaper goods?

well what if u contribute to the better of society instead of primarily focus on the economicl greed with certain individuals

You're abandoning the argument entirely. "Better society" is vague moralizing. Raising prices during weak demand actually preserves jobs, funds innovation, and prevents predatory discounting that destroys competitors. What specific harm occurs when prices stay firm?

well first of all, take in consideration that there is a variutey of different comapnys, jobs that used to stand out on your company willl eventually lean towards companys who provi9de better opportunitys. and of couse without sufficent skilled workers, the company may face heavy consequences

You're describing competition, not an argument against price-holding. Companies that cut prices to poach talent during downturns are just bribing workers with unsustainable wage pressure. Smart firms maintain margins, invest strategically, and attract talent through stability, not desperation pricing. If weak demand forces you to slash prices to keep workers, your business model was already broken, right?
