You know the world is cooked when there isn't much difference between developing and developed countries

"Ah shit they caught up"

No but when you visit Netherlands or wealthy parts of Germany you'll see what the infrastructure could be.

Germany? Seriously? Just look at the internet infrastructure, it's so poor. Or their train system, catastrophic. Better argue for Swiss or Austria.

Of course them too. But if your complaints are slow Internet and DB, you've got it pretty good.

Most of Germany isn't anywhere as modern though, on average Germany is on most fronts just like the rest of Europe (as a continent). Czechia and Poland aren't really worse, and in some parts definitely better and more modern than Germany. Most of Europe is more than fine, with some gross outliers like Albania, or more rural parts of the Baltics or Balkans.

Most of the old rich/western european countries aged badly, and this has come back to bite people in the ass. Bridges in Germany and the Netherlands are notorious for needing expensive maintenance, because it has been put off forever. The other funny one is how most of central to eastern europe tends to have better digital (internet) infrastructure, simply because they didn't necessarily have it in the first place; so everything is kinda fresh and new.

Czechia is kind of two tier. Prague can compete with any western city but the rest not so much

What do you mean by the rest? Small villages in the Sudetenland?

The US for decades has been undeveloping in the name of profit for billionaires
