    America deserves to be recognized as a Third World Country. I say this as an American, it’s deplorable how the citizens are treated.

      To be clear- this is just your personal “vibe” and not an actual fact, because the term “third world country” literally means a country that is not aligned with the US or USSR. If you meant “developing nation” that term also has a definition the US does not meet.

      We’ve been a third world country for a several decades already. Just because we use to change out guys in the office every 4-8 years, doesnt mean it was ever all that good here.

      The cold war is over, they are called developing countries now. Your point still stands, the US has lots of developing to do, especially on the social/society front.
