Who covers the difference between the $7/h gas station attendants currently make, and the new $100/h? How do they do this without raising prices? Where does the farmer buy gas so as not to have to raise the price of food to match?

I was working under the assumption that the government would subsidize the difference.
Correction: government would confiscate the difference from other hard working people and encourage low-end workers to stay in those low-value jobs. Really screws up the labor market: "why work harder? I'm getting $100/hr running a cash register!"
