    Be real mate. Thats not how it works.

    Suppliers create the demand.

    People werent demanding smartphones before smartphones got invented.

    Most new things are shunned by most people until they slowly gain popularity and then the demand starts to exist.

    You are stating the hypothesis of capitalism whilst ignoring the conclusion.

      Suppliers do not create demand lol

      Some of us were adults in 08 when lack of demand crippled the world

        I was 21. I remember.

        Im not saying demand doesnt fuel supply.

        Im only saying supply can create demand.

          Supply can create demand

          Sure, with very specialized things like highways.

          Not for most goods. In no way is that how money is spent within a company.
