Unlikely. Lemmy is, like, 50% doomers who think everything in their lives is hanging by a thread at any moment and that everyone else is the same.
The reality is that even the doomers have far more slack in their lives and options for alternatives than they realize. People will tighten their belts, bike or take transit, carpool, start private transit businesses, move closer to work, get jobs closer to home, move in with family/roommates, etc.
Silly question for the lemmy brain trust: what happens when most people are priced out of commuting?
Seems like that would inadvertently bring about a general strike.

Oh please. Don’t you see they always keep you squeezed just enough so the hopeless balance of inaction is protected?
