Prove you wrong? These designations were created during the Cold War to classify soviet (second world) anti-soviet (first world) and neutral (third world) countries. America, by definition, is first world. It isn't an economic or number of issues type system as many misinterpreted it to be.

Yes I get that it's being hyperbolic and the us is far from a third world country, but with that said the us is definitely one of the worse first world countries.

No champions, no hired fighters. Only the politicians/leaders who are looking to solve the problem.

"As a result of Secretary Foster's careful historical research on the subject, the House of Representative's Committee on Revision of the Laws had ruled in 1902 that "the United States" should be treated as singular, not plural."

It's "The US is" not "The US are"
