just because there is poor people doesn't change the status.
there are wealthy people in all countries, doesn't change them from being undeveloped/3rd world

You intellect made a thread asking if the US is still a first world country. Please read a book.
Nah man, he says that 150 word comments are too long for him to read and posters need to be more concise, here's a 30-minute video from an anonymous Tulsi stan he'll ask me to watch instead.
Yes OP, the USA is still a 1st world country. If you don't believe it, then go to any non-1st-world country and check out how the middle class folk live.
I was in India once and had to entertain a White foreigner's old parents from the States for two hours. They were talking about slums and said, "Is this a slum? Because I would consider this a slum."
We were in an upper middle-class neighborhood, like talking top-10% easy if not top-5%, and India's middle class is better off than in most countries.

A first world country is a first world country because it is a first world country not because it seems like it in comparison to other countries.

Loads of slums in india, and not.
I was once entertaining some indians from infosys & we were in New York for a conference.
They were saying NY is so dirty compared to where they live.
I do not remember ahere in india they lived however.
Based on that comment I would assume the north.

I guess what I meant by this thread is not is the u.s a 1st world but rather does it feel like it.
I guess i assumed that making this thread I would mostly het replies as if that's what I asked.
But instead everyone took it way too literally.
I think it should have been self evident but i guess i was wrong

This is basically the reason I like to say that America is the shythole country of the first world nations.

America is no longer a developed country
You realize that the term "first world" is explicitly a comparison?
And if you think it's an absolute standard and comparisons don't matter, well, the USA is by all absolute standards better off than it was when the term was invented, so then of course it still is.
You misunderstood. I wasn't talking about a slum, I was talking about an upper-middle class neighborhood. To an American from the west coast, that upper-middle class neighborhood (trash on the streets, numerous beggars, buildings that wouldn't pass code in the USA, paint peeling and concrete flaking off everywhere) felt like a slum.
There are zero North Indian cities nicer than New York. The closest is Gurguon, which ain't even a city, it's an unincorporated private community built by multinational corporations, and at best it is roughly comparable to the mediocre parts of an American city. I've spent significant time in most of the major cities of the major states in north India (Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, West Bengal, and Rajasthan), and not one person in any of those places would positively compare the cleanliness or development of their city to America.
Even the folk living in the nicest high-rises in Gurguon, making mad salaries for Western multinationals that allow them to live like kings, are 90% of the time just trying to get a promotion to a post in a Western country.

Interesting list.
Surprised to see incomes so low in the UK, and Japan. Had no idea they was getting money like that in Liechtenstein
By this definition France barely makes "first world", and Spain doesn't make the cut at all.
