America, a "3rd world nation"?

6. I agree.

I moved from a small town in east Texas where huge swaths of it resemble a third world country. In fact, someone i went to high school with there moved off to attend BYU. Years later, she traveled back with her daughter to visit her mom who still lives there. As they were driving through town her daughter asked, "Mom, why are all the houses broken?"

Drive through that town and you will ask yourself the same question. Not shockingly, the town has a super racist past including being a major klan town.

When I was in high school, President Clinton was forcing the housing projects there to allow people of color to move in. Man, did that cause an uproar. There was an actual klan march down main street. The town was featured on the TV show Inside Edition as well as the Montell Williams show. It was quite the embarrassment.

But back to the point: the town is ugly as hell and yes, it resembles a third world country.
