10 years from now USA is gonna be a 3rd world country with all these cuts.
Trump was always obsessed with "shit hole countries". Now he's turning the US into one of them.
He wants us to be exactly like Russia. Complete shithole company run by the oligarchy, who live lavish luxury lives.
Rich people hate equality because that means they need to share.
Certainly seems that way.
No regulations to support a reasonable standard of living for the peasants.
Oligarchs mooching off everyone else.
Americans have lost so much in the last few months, not only with the bullshit spending bill but just the erosion of the rule of law and the democratic process.
Not even gonna take 10 years. By the end of Spray Tan's term the country is gonna be a complete toilet.
Assuming he doesn't find a way to stay in office indefinitely.
It's already a 3rd world country, has been for some time now.
From Europe it has already looked like a 3rd world country for at least a few years.
We always have been a 3rd world country
I wish someone would look up what "3rd World" means and stop conflating the unaligned movement with poverty.
You should look up how many people in the US are under the poverty line.
I don't think that was what they were saying. They were bemoaning the fact that "3rd world" has become a synonym for "developing" or "poor" when technically it means countries that weren't part of the cold war, although I think they might be tilting at windmills given it's a distinction that's been lost for at least three decades already.
Apart from anything else, even if you keep its original meaning, it still works as a metaphor in the sense of a country losing superpower status.
The consequences of Cold War politics echo through to the modern day.
Ya, the term "3rd world" has since become synonymous with poor or developing countries.
It's not a correct or accurate term, but it's still used.
