I'd say roads that need less maintenance are a win long term, otherwise we go back to original argument about breaking all the windows. The rest... pure speculation from poster's own limited view, the world is more complex than 'I stay home so just order more stuff from China', definitely not true for me. I can chip in mine - ie during travel restrictions forced to buy in more expensive smaller local shops for whole family. One heck of help for local economy. Spending vacations much closer, meaning tons of money flow back to local economy. Having time to plan and do some home repairs with local workforce. And so on, random tiny examples have little significance in hyper complex situation that is called reality.
