The default, the vaccine, the lockdowns, the supply chain shutting down, it is all linked. This is going to suck royally for most of the world, massive starvations.
unless:
(1). you own your own land mortgage free, which is probably a very low percentage of folks, just like during the depression. They will kick you out of your house, take your land - they won't care. "Grapes of Wrath" style.
(2). If you are lucky enough to own your land mortgage free, you'll still probably have to pay taxes on it. hopefully, you can make ends meet by working at a gas station, or sell enough vegetables from your garden to pay them until they no longer have the capability (no law enforcement support) to enforce their stupid taxes.
(3). You have employable skills. Sitting at a desk designing rockets on a computer is not an employable skill in the new economy. Neither is being an anesthesiologist - where you gonna get gas / needles / IV's, monitoring equipment? No. employable skills will be: welding, auto repair, communications, surveillance, security, self-defense, machinist, growing stuff, carpentry, etc. The ability to engineer a product like a water filter, or a wind generator out of car alternators and pvc pipe would make you a valuable asset to a community. community organizers are going to be out of luck.
In Pennsylvania, at least, you have to be three years behind on your property taxes for them to list it for tax sale. Then you only have to pay one year to stay off their tax sale list. One year at a time. So three years may buy you some time to come up with money to pay taxes.

How about plumbers? My husband is an HVAC man.
well, AC might not be a luxury folks can afford if electricity goes all California/Texas on us.
But my theory is that it was plumbers and clean water that eradicated most diseases, not vaxxines....But I digress...
If the people who own my house no longer exists who takes my house?
I'm sure the gov. will think of someone....
Australia is a great example of how much you can push people around. A lot, apparently.
thousands of haitians are standing by... ready to replace you!
