Completely dysfunctional... Does your power regularly go out? Is your water poisoning you?
If you live in a major city in the US or Europe, your utilities almost certainly "just work," and this narrative is pure ideological bullshit based in fantasy.
Have you ever lived anywhere where utilities are not state-regulated? Are you comparing them to that experience?
You don't have to--you can just compare something that should be a utility (Comcast) with something that is (your power company). Hey, look! Turns out those government regulations help.
