There is an actual commenter here suggesting Flint is an example of "3rd world country".
You'd think in the age of YouTube people would have more perspective on the rest of the world. Seriously, one stroll down the giant open air landfills (which double as housing for hundreds of people) of Dhaka should be enough to be eternally thankful for what one has.
- addicted 8y agoThe poster you mention absolutely does not say that. The poster says Flint’s clean water problems are the kind you would find in a 3rd world country. I think you are clearly misreading both the article and people’s comments to it. No one is suggesting the US is a 3rd world country. But in certain areas it’s statistics resemble 3rd world country outcomes more than it does developed country outcomes. The reason this is important is that the US is usually an outlier in developed countries in this area, which means solutions to these problems exist.
