This is dependent on the economic output that you consider expendable.
For instance, there will be no modern medicine without microchip fabrication, and really the entire global electronics industry from top to bottom. Without that extraordinarily complex production system woven through our economy, you’re basically back to 1940s medicine.
Yes, it’s impossible to do things differently. If there were no roads, all chip fabs would be demolished along with their custom local power plants they usually create on site.
But maybe they could keep some production going so that the chips for security tags could still be produced. With no roads, how would the police chase all the shop lifters.
Fuck economic output, I want to be happy and healthy and live in a world that I’d actually want kids to grow up in.
