The US isn’t “fine”. You can’t see past the superficial bling because it’s a rich country. It’s a really twisted country.

And that shit exists in the Philippines but is at least 100x worse. You likely don’t understand because you’ve never been to a place like that.

And note: Philippines is actually a lot better than other countries as well. Truly 3rd world countries like Congo care even less about their citizens.

Dude. No one said the US is worse than the Philippines. But the US is still not fine.

  This is literally a topic about poor, destabilized countries.
  
  The Philippines is far more on-topic than USA here. Philippines in fact might be too rich / developing compared to many even worse-off countries.
