IMO, The US has crumbling infrastructure, corrupt government, dangerous cities, and a lot of homelessness, among so many other problems. Hell, millions of people in the US don’t even have power right now.

What’s the difference?

    You mean global north/ global south.

    Developing and developed are considered negatively.

    But in terms of laypeople words, that are used every day, 1st and 3rd world mean the same thing.

      North/south imply certain regions can’t improve and is far worse than developed/developing

      If layperson words didn’t have an issue with 1st/3rd world, you wouldn’t see so many comments about it
