WE NEED SOCIALISM for the following.

Transportation

Post

Healthcare

Emergency Services

Basic Welfare

For everything else there's capitalism.

I would add utilities to that list, at least to a certain extent. It's impractical to have multiple electricity/water/sewage grids in the same city.

but the consumption of utilities varies great from household to household and it would be abused. but a capped subsidized amount would make sense.

yes, the grids should be the same company, but who bills you varies.

Competition?

Although I've never had the option to choose these utilities in the cities I've lived in. I haven't lived in a ton of cities, but enough to wonder.

Education

yes that's another one.
