As America cedes it’s leadership roles, other nations are already filling the gaps. It’s only pompous arrogance that has Americans believing the rest of the world can’t get along without them. Not so.

The world keeps moving forward as Trump and the MAGA Republicans drag the country backwards.

I feel we have to rethink using the phrase #firstworldproblems in the #unitedstates.

With the aftermath of Trump’s #tariffs on our #economy, #rfkjr on the health of the population, destruction of reproductive rights, the occupation of cities the “president” doesn’t like, the war on immigration, diversity… the list of awful goes on… it really seems like we don’t qualify anymore. #thirdworldproblems #thirdworldcountry

Congratulations America ! You did it. Here’s to the return of #Measles, #Mumps and #Rubella ( #Polio?), redundant sides of #Botulism and #Salmonella. Here’s to #Agriculture and #Fisheries collapse gratis, formal accompaniments via instant #ThirdWorldCountry status. Here’s to rock quarries and slave labor pro ratas, illiteracy and incumbent ignoramas. Here’s to our adversaries thus ultimately gifted via a US fully grifted :thank your #Republican necrons and convicted felons. Celebrate

To see oursels as ithers see us!

An’ foolish notion:

An’ ev’n devotion!"

The charity Strike It Out has been instructed by Launceston City Council in #tasmania #australia to remove its sleeping pods and shower trailers for #homeless individuals from the streets due to a lack of permits. The charity has been trying to secure these permits since late 2022 but has faced ongoing bureaucratic hurdles. The council cited community complaints about antisocial behavior and infrastructure damage as reasons for the removal, while the charity argues these measures are urgently needed, especially during cold weather.

Another lovely #AgentOrange #Trump moment from the first 2024 #PresidentialDebate is when he calls USA under the #Biden administration a "#thirdWorldCountry". That shows a lot about his #whiteSupremacy bias.

Say what you may about other countries which end up being labeled "third world", but they're not bad. E.g., they don't have #schoolShootings there.
