Free market people are responding to this with "when demand goes down you have to lay people off, learn economics dumb socialist!" People's brains are so broken by capitalist realism they think if you have a descriptive explanation for something, that makes it de facto rational.https://twitter.com/existentialcoms/status/1238524655989690368 …
The reason it is irrational is because the very action that helps the business in the short term micro situation - firing workers to cut costs, deepens the very crisis which caused the situation, that is to say decreased demand. It is irrational in the long term, macro level.
That is because the free market is not based on rational self interest, it is based on irrational self interest. It is rational self interest for everyone to work together to overcome a crisis; it is irrational self interest for everyone to cut their loses, deepening the crisis.
They also somehow forget that even capitalists realize this, and it's the entire point of Keynesian economics. Seriously the amount of "capitalist" who don't even understand the basic economics of capitalism is stunning.
"Muh libertarianism"
explaining it versus explaining it away are two different things folks
Very prominently seen in Gender Pay Gap discussions.
A lot of them have accepted as a maxim that capitalism is inherently morally good. That's stupid, but it explains a lot of how they behave.
Schools of Business should be illegal.
"How can we acquire goods and services if no one has money?!" Oh, I dunno, maybe cooperation, and labour?
And then next their broken brains start making them say, "Actually, price gouging during disasters is a good thing!"
