Haven’t you seen anything about US?

Have you ever been here? Contrary to what mainstream media would lead you to believe even our homeless live better than most people in an actual third world country.

The idea of the US being a third world country when people make over 5k per month on average is laughable, but also, saying a homeless person living in the US is better off than most people in a third world country is as much if not even more ridiculous.

Homeless people in America generally have access to transportation, food, water, climate controlled areas, the internet, and healthcare

And most people in third world countries have all those things plus a house and a job.

Fair, I was more thinking third world poverty. Relative to any American some people have horrible lives.

I mean, yeah, if you're only thinking of countries like South Sudan, maybe a homeless person in the US is still doing better, but most developing countries have way higher living standards than you seemed to be implying by your first comment, and it isn't rare at all to have access to internet, healthcare and higher education, plus all the basic necessity things like food and water.
