IMO, The US has crumbling infrastructure, corrupt government, dangerous cities, and a lot of homelessness, among so many other problems. Hell, millions of people in the US don’t even have power right now.

    • 1st world = US, NATO, and their allies.
    • 2nd world = USSR, China, the Warsaw Pact, and their allies.
    • 3rd world = everyone else.

    e.g. Switzerland would be a 3rd world country by the original definition.
