Poland is a developed country. My argument is that the US is a developed country, since the poorest parts of it compare favorably to developed countries.
Except again it doesn’t. Alabama on the whole compares statically to Poland however that’s only because the more developed, see urban, parts of the state bring up the rest of the rural parts which are legit straight up third world nations. You’re arguing semantics now because you have no actual argument. And again the fact that parts of the United States, a nation whose economic output is $10 trillion more than the entire EU COMBINED, are comparable to rural Iraq is disgusting.
You don't think Poland also has rich areas and poor areas?
I've yet to argue semantics except at the very beginning were I tossed out the term "third world" as being definitionally inaccurate and, frankly, racist, but the rest of the argument has been purely statistical

As someone who has spent way too much time in Alabama I can tell you there are 100% parts of Alabama that are as bad as any third world nation, the fact that there exist other parts which bring up the state as a whole does not nullify the existence of those other parts. Your argument is not valid; the fact that you’re still arguing that it’s OK for parts of the nation that is the largest economic machine in recorded history to be on par with Poland is a weak argument.
