Comment on Why is the US not considered a third world country?
Steve@communick.news 3 months ago
Several reasons.
- The US is largely responsible for defining what 1st, 2nd, and 3rd World countries are.
- It has the largest economy in the world.
(I think? That may have gone to China by now. Not sure. But it was true recently.) - Even with everything you said being true. It’s still the wealthiest country in the world, by a large margin. Epically when you compare incomes, lifestyles, and infrastructure to actual 3rd world countries. It’s not even close.

Looks like the USA is still about $10 trillion higher in GDP than China.
