IMO, The US has crumbling infrastructure, corrupt government, dangerous cities, and a lot of homelessness, among so many other problems. Hell, millions of people in the US don’t even have power right now.

What’s the difference?

    We literally did come up with new terms after the cold war. We now say Developing and Developed nations.

      Nope that was apparently too confusing, now we say global north and global south.

      It’s a much better system, see Australia in the south of the globe, is in the global north for instance. It just makes perfect sense.
