re: It wouldn't be a choice between broad categories of activities. It would be higher prices for all of them.

You may have missed the gas lines in the 70's. And that was when we produced 70% of our oil.

A serious disruption in supply and there would be rationing. If your job wasn't critical... no gas. We would have to decide, move food or move the military. Imagine just a 25% reduction in supply... what kind of catastrophe would that cause in a JIT economy?
