> People don't buy coffee on the way to work, people don't buy coffee on the way home, people don't buy sandwiches and snacks, people don't spend money on commuting, people don't spend money at resturants for launch, companies stop having team lunches.

This is the broken window fallacy. Just like you can't improve the economy by breaking people's windows to get them to spend money on window repair, you can't improve the economy by forcing people to go to work to get them to spend money on coffee and gas
