No one woul get priced out mate. You don't think that employers or the government would foot the bill if it came to it? Employers need money and employees. Governments need money and employers. They wouldn't just let the nation fall apart. Sure, your current paradigm leading to a known apocalypse would have to change, but this would be the catalyst.

People would have to start taking public transit to work. Or biking. Or God forbid walking. Things need to change, and this pussyfooting policy of "Oooooh, we can't change toooo fast and make people uncooooomfortable" bullshit needs to stop.
