America's effortless transition into a Third-World country continues.

This is a 35 year old system.

Also, the US can't be third-world by definition. Third-world just means not aligned with the US or Russia, and is an anachronism.

Everyone knows third-world pretty much means "developing world" nowadays.

Considering the "developed"/"developing" dichotomy is really just "First or Second World"/"Third World", um, duh?
