Cars except the smallest are priced at what a small apartment went five years age
Some gadgetry is still priced for consumers, but it appears that next half generation won't afford a Playstation, won't eat out, and will be generally miserable.
But that is literally what a lot of us want, no? No one says it directly but when people talk about taxing carbon to fight climate change, this is exactly the consequence they are advocating for. You want to reduce carbon footprint? Make flying so expensive that only rich could afford it. You want to advocate for public transit and reduce cars in the cities? Only way to do so is make parking and gas expensive along with congestion tax and only rich could afford it. Need hobbies requiring space? But big houses have bigger carbon footprint so either go for shared spaces or find hobbies which need less space. But don't think about having a spare room in your house.
When you connect all the dots, fight for climate change is essentially about reducing carbon footprint by making everything (planes, personal cars, single family houses, ...) affordable only to the rich.
This is also how food is distributed in wartime, in many occasions.
