They dont in competent countries. A government is a direct and exact reflection of its people. If your government sucks ass, you suck ass. Get involved and try to change it.

Don't let your government run it ineptly. It really is that simple.
No, it's still a problem in other places with multiple options, take Texas, for example. Your bill for a midsize house is going to be the same no matter where you go, and it's going to go up 10-20% every year. If you switch providers, if you're able to in an area, then guess what, you get a discount for a month.
Unless you get tricked into going for a wholesale provider, then randomly and without warning you will receive a 5 figure bill one month and will forfeit you security deposit when you can't pay.
There is no way a profit seeking entity can control a natural monopoly, even if you introduce artificial competition.
Imagine the world is a video game. Higher value characters of the race man would have things like a high earning job (a good class), a decent amount of wealth, high physical stats, high charisma. Low value characters would have a terrible class (smelly gamer), stats they believe are skewed towards intelligence, and no money.
If your world view is like this except you also believe there are hidden stats you can't ever change(like looks), and you're in a capitalist nightmarescape where even changing your class and amount of wealth is typically impossible, then you've accidently an entire incel.
Companies literally cannot not go for infinite growth unless they are privately owned with no investors whatsoever (including bank loans to start the business)
And utilities shouldn't be companies, private or otherwise. No natural monopoly should have any capitalist entities involved with it, it should all be managed by the state (or in an anarchist utopia, a volunteer committee appointed by the people to complete the specific task of maintenance and expansion).
No shit, either you're homeless and unreported or you're working a half dozen jobs to barely not be homeless while taking all the loans you can to live somewhat tolerably.
The US is going to collapse in a few years anyway, that's the only hope anyone has left anymore.
Those are two different sites (.si and nyaa pantsu) due to an almost comical amount of drama between the admins of the former nyaa torrent site. Land might be a mirror of one of them but the other is an entirely different tracker.
It's not useless, unless you have a passport you are required to have a SS card for employment; and yes some people have bad fortune. In failed states like the US there's no real safety net so all additional pointless barriers hurt extra worse for those few percent that are extra unfortunate.
Homelessness, house fires, theft, things that are only going to be more common over time?
Nyaa.si/nyaa.pant.su would be the original versions of that site, and usually have most things.
Generally this can be solved with hurricane ties (to prevent the structure from completely flying) and a community tornado shelter in affected regions. It won't eliminate damage but will reduce it as much as can be.
There's no perfect government, because there are no perfect people, but it's infinitely better than a corporation.
