First world problems
- VLM 11y agoUsually when people say "first world problem" what they mean is the solution is cheaply affordable by the first world. They aren't talking about the problem at all, they're talking about the solution. The point is non-1st world can't afford the solutions, and they're going to be stuck with this garbage as used appliances and used cars when the 1st world tosses them out in an upgrade. That's the real problem.
- jackvalentine 11y agoNo, when people say 'first world problem' they're referring to a problem that simply doesn't exist in the third world and only by the virtue of our wealth we get to experience it.
