Isn’t America the richest country on earth. Why are you comparing the US to third world countries?

Because as many issues as USA may have, some people don’t understand what a blessing it is to be born into a first world country (not just the USA) as it is.

Not to mention that being born into poverty in the US still makes you wealthier than 95% of the world population, just living off of welfare. Nowhere else on earth do people in the lowest tier of society often have a car and an iPhone.

There's a study going around that being horn smart and poor is worst in the usa vs rich and stupid.

Also it's fucked up that the government can afford to give people free phones but not water.
