They're not gonna quit until all of the plebs have spent all their cash. These assholes are relentless. We've got serious inflation now. When it is accepted as the new norm by the middle class ... buckle up for the hyperinflation.
You wanna find out what life is like with no affordable electricity? Shut it off for a couple days and see. If they end my expectation of using electricity, I am fully prepared to end electricity for everyone I can possible affect. All it takes is a rifle and knowing where the the x-fer lines are run. You wanna cause chaos? Take out the lines leading away from a nuclear energy plant.
Begin ranting:
The best trick is to find 'your way' to get out of paying taxes ... and become self-sufficient. Stop buying _crap_ and convert some of your fiat currency into stuff you can barter with or store long-term while you still can. Especially things you know you're not gonna find locally or stuff you're gonna use up. Cooking oil, sugar, salt (lots of salt), beans, rice ... are all affordable and serve well as hold-out rations. Develop a method of collecting and storing a LOT of water. Worry about purifying it later ... but, don't forget you need more water than you think you need right now.
I've set aside a ton of reloading components and a respectable stash of arrows. If you don't yet have tools for harvesting wood ... get them now while they're available ... you'll need an axe, a saw and a maul ... don't forget extra handles and metal wedges. Might be good to have a file on-hand for sharpening. Good to have a rake and a tarp for hauling smaller sticks and kindling. Get yourself a shovel, a couple 2X4s and a sheet of 3/4in plywood in case you need to bury something you don't want other people to get at. Seek and find a wood-burning stove (you don't even have to have this indoors ... though it's really nice if you can).
If you live anywhere near where you've seen deer ... buy stuff that will draw them in. Deer have a sense of smell that's equivalent to our ability to see (around corners even). You toss some deer corn up in the air at dusk, they will smell it and come right in. Voilà ... you've got a freezer full of non-GMO meat. Got no electricity for your freezer? ... See the reference to salt above. Buy yourself a 50lb bag of birdseed and feed the doves. A simple weighted net can bag you a dozen with a quick snatch of a line. You just have to set the stage for when the play is gonna start.
End rant.
The things you depend on ... that you can't control ... are designed to strip you bare.

'Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!
