We have been a third world nation with designer clothes. We have no universal Healthcare,lack of health rights like abortion, bad infrastructure, poor worker rights, no maternity or paternity leave, high level of governemnt corruption, and what social nets we do have are constantly under attack.

We are a country that did not get bombed to shit during the two world wars and used that to build a large military and global economy around us. We have been riding that high ever since doing nothing else.

I'm pretty sure the United States is still aligned with NATO which makes it a first world country.

I just like definitions. I know, meaning changes. But if the US isn't a first world country then pretty much nowhere is. The cold war was Russia vs the US.
