I know you guys don't live in utopia, but fuck, you have it better than us in a lot of ways.

Most 3rd world counties have it better than the US

I think they call it developing countries now. I don't think Mexico is considered developing but has free healthcare, who else are you talking about?

First world = NATO

Second world = Warsaw Pact

Third world = non-aligned

Developed world = rich countries

Developing world = poor countries

Global south = also poor countries, but with more emphasis on Africa and South America

Thanks for that comment, US is down to #21 on that list. I don't see Mexico on the developed world list, so I guess they are developing but still have free health care.
