The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Why? At this point the US IS a third world country.

Look at it. There is a rich ruling class, and most that aren't in it are poor enough to barely make it to the end of the month. The countries main focus is the military, which is too notch, and the test just really sucks. Its led by a dictator wannabe and so rife with corruption that they don't even try to hide it anymore.

Any other county would be called a third world country, why not the US? Just because it's in absolute terms rich doesn't mean that all join in the riches or rights.

Hey, now, that's unfair to third world countries. Some of them actually have functioning public health systems.
