no, we're not.

 

you might feel fucked over by the 1%, and that's understandable. but you're not fucking starving. your kid is going to school. you have an actual house, with air conditioning and electricity and regulated, clean water. you have a job that pays more than $5 a day.

 

don't.

Yes, but millions of Americans do not have one or more of those "luxuries".

True, however, in America, it is extremely unlikely that your child will starve to death in front of you.

 

You sure about that?  I suppose the problem is that we're used to the idea that starving to death looks like an African child with sunken features and bones visible through the skin.  In reality, starvation here appears as children who outwardly look healthy or even fat while still suffering from malnutrition.

the only thing on that list that could possibly be construed as a "luxury" would be air conditioning. and the lack of it does not dump a person into 3rd world status. hell, in many places, it's not even needed or wanted. as for the rest of the items. yes, we have homeless. yes, flint mi was a thing. but those are outliers. if you're going to try arguing that this country is / should be considered "3rd world" then you may as well stop now, because i'm not going to entertain such juvenile bullshit.

 

unless you're just playing devil's advocate. which is probably more likely, but still earns the same response.

i mean, if you wanted to get technical, "3rd world" technically means any country who didn't align with either russia or the usa during the cold war. but no one really uses the term like that anymore.

 

imo, 3rd world would essentially be any country with a large population, little/no industrialized output, and living conditions considered "substandard" by a majority.

Air conditioners are an odd one. Many people in rich countries like France and Germany still don't use them. Though that'll probably change with the climate.

i added it because she's sitting there complaining about living under these horrible conditions, while not breaking a sweat on the comfy couch in her single-residence property. or at her job, which she's already stated earns her well above minimum wage.

*Rubs temple* Flint still is a thing, Dumbfuck, and that's not the only place with poisoned drinking water in America.

Notice I said "to death." Obesity being as prevalent as it is, there are a lot of Americans who are malnourished

oh, i get it now. you wanna establish my fan club or something, because you're admitting to post stalking me. well that's nice.

 

Yes, I'm stalking your posts by clicking on a thread made by Fuggs. Or maybe saying "flint was a thing" when this hit the news today just made you sound like a tool.

it's funny because you're making a huge fucking deal over the use of past tense in the statement (a rather childish, nitpicky thing to bitch about tbqh), and as supporting evidence, you post a link that uses the past tense.

 

don't worry, the position of "fan club president" is still open. but you'll have to fill an application just like all the other poor saps.

also, yes you clicked on a thread made by fuggs, but instead of responding to her, all you've done is post your insulting bullshit directly at me. so yeah, stalking my posts seems closer to accurate than whatever you're claiming to be doing here.

Awwww, did we hurt your feelings because we told you that water in Flint is still fucked and that there are many places in this country with fucked water? Poor poor wacky. We were so mean to you.

not really sure where you're going with this. but please continue. i need to take a shit, and my curiosity will keep me from spending the next 15 minutes looking at memes.

As I sit here taking a shit, I have come to realize that telling you I'm taking a shit was probably not wise. This is the type of thing that stalkers take note of. Maybe even fap to, I dunno. I don't want to be an enabler for whatever perverse rituals you and sorce are conjuring up.

The deaths in that Florida nursing home were directly attributable to lack of air conditioning, so yes it is still considered a necessity even if it isn't always available.  And no, I'm not arguing that this country is a third-world country, just that the metric you used to chastise Fuggs could easily be refuted.  Unfortunately, we don't measure the wealth and status of a country based on how its poor people live, as you can plainly see.
