How Is America A 1st World Country When Baltimore Exist?

It is arguable that the average American does not live better than the average Earthling..you wouldnt know this unless you have actually travelled extensively.

I don't know about that but I definitely can say this: the average American lived better in 2003 than they do in 2023. Brehs think they living the good life right now, they would be living even better in the early 00s. Americans are accepting a lower quality of life every decade. The internet got cats distracted from it.

that brick facade fell like it was held together with Play-doh

At least they got John Hopkins. They saved my auntie's life.

Isn't that amazing. Literally one of the top 10 medical facilities in the world and 10 minutes away entire blocks of buildings falling apart.

Shout out to auntie though I like to heat that

Baltimore is a dope ass city, OP buggin fr.

America is a first world country with many 3rd world communities. I've been to some places down south that are comparable to places I've been to in Brazil. Just less populated. I got family in SC that live in shacks on dirt roads, inside of the place falling apart. Living conditions can be brutal in rural America but that's the only life some people know.

Most dangerous city I've ever been to was New Orleans. You could literally feel the murder vibe in the air.... And I've traveled oversees

You ever drove through some of those Appalachian counties? Baltimore is light work compared to those areas. It'll really have you questioning if you're still in America

Never made it over that way but if its worse then what I've seen in rural Flawda,Louisiana, Mississippi then

I always said the worse type of poverty isn't in the cities its out in the country. atleast in the city you can get into shyt and roam out there its just miserable.

Because Ohio, Alabama, New Jersey, and Washington DC all exist too

Downtown Los Angeles, Southside Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco....It's bad and rotten all over.

As bad as some areas in Chicago are, you are still in close proximity to wealth and resources. Knowledge is everywhere and you don't need a car to get around. In rural America, you are ass'd out and you gotta leave to get any opportunity. I've driven all across the country due to my lifestyle and some of the worst poverty I've seen was in Montana on Indian reservations. Had me feeling bad for those people, living in the middle of nowhere with 0 resources. Stopped at a gas station and drunks walking up and down the road. There were postings everywhere about missing Native women.

the inequality in america is widening because capital is being concentrated on the rich and not being taxed to fund infrastructure and educational reforms. each state has effectively chosen its own path and the elite in those states are hoarding political and financial power.

americans are so ignorant of each other and the world that they dont recognize that there could be and SHOULD be a better life for each and every american. its not a promise, it's a right

 

[DonB90]

That 2nd graph.....Go to any medium to large city close as you can to downtown or the hood...they not in prisons no more..they laying on the sidewalk you gotta literally step over em

the amount of jobs that would be created to join america via rail is mind blowing. such a massive project could literally eliminate poverty simply by connecting all major cities together through rail instead of just road or air

america is not a country anymore, it's a regional block. and if you look at one like the European Union, their greatest strength is the free flow of people and goods through sophisticated land and air infrastructure. mississippi isn't landlocked and should be a big asset to the US. but its consistently ranked last in many categories

america either dies because of inept politicians or recovers because of fed up citizens. but it's not looking good either way for the next 100 years

The average American has no health insurance but can “afford” an iPhone and a decent car and for the most part access to clean water and food and the illusion of a not being outwardly poor. That’s the difference. We have enough money for gadgets and nice things but not always the IMPORTANT things.
