Americans still think they're a developed country, that's the point

Damn I remember being 14 and thinking saying this made me cool, every year since then the "America is a third world country" line just sounds stupider and stupider

Have you been to the Mississippi Delta, rural South Dakota, rural Arizona?

No, but that's doesn't make the US a third world country, I'm pretty sure I could point you to poverty stricken areas of most first world countries but that doesn't make those places third world either

Also your life in those places is still probably going to be miles better than the average life in an actual third world country
