Don't worry, it will be masively worse here.

In the USSR there was somewhat decent public services in place that people could keep using (public transit, apartments, industry, etc.) and the people operating it were competent at doing so, if a bit "lazy" (they pretend to pay us so we pretend to work).

We've got none of that here and I expect as things collapse, that will get worse as the rulers try to run off with everything of value they can get their grubbly little hands on.
