America - Sliding Down The Shitter

[Amarok]

Yup.  I'd have done well if I stayed.  The reasons that I'd have done well ensure that the vast majority would do very..very poorly.

I think people would be surprised at what does (and doesn't) find a place in the third world.  We certainly wouldn;t want the US to fall so far as the second world tier.  It's untenable to american culture...and arent we supposed to be making america great or some such shit?

As far as socio-economic mobility...the US has long stagnated at a level close to medieval europe, but so long as the lowest rung is still first world..folks aren't likely to notice or give a shit.  Let just one rung of society fall below first world standards and see how those assholes act.

The notion that the lowest rung of US society is first world is simply ludicrous.  Every nation on the planet has its desperately poor, living in substandard housing in unsanitary conditions, without secure food and clean water,  By way of example:



and



The first picture is a slum in America.  The second is a slum in Bangladesh.  Both look pretty goddamed third world to me.

That's not  an American slum .This is however .
