The U.S. and its citizens love to spout about how theirs is the greatest country on earth. Yet 2 million yanks don't have access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation. Surely any other country in this situation would be considered as either under developed or as a third world country. Yet we treat the US differently.

Out of a population of approx 320 million.
not that long since a lot of Britons didn't have indoor plumbing - within my lifetime, I believe. For all I know, some still have their loos at the end of the yard.
Are you suggesting we send them foreign aid?
As has been said, homes exist in this country that don't have indoor bathrooms. If you think the US is a Third World country you've never been to a Third World country.

The US seems to contradict the notion of what a third world country is, as it is the wealthiest nation in the world. The US has the most powerful military in the world, and it is the top one technologically and scientifically if compared with other countries.
in a free country of 220 m that is under 1%
I seriously suggest that is peanuts

third world country - none of it is clean.

The larger problem we see ( perhaps better than the voting electorate) is that the current president does NOT think that taking a lead in a national emergency ( covid that is!) is a presidents job. It is to enrich himself and his cronies.

same thing occurred before FDR's election - "I will give americuh a noo deal" - Calvin ("Clidge" Coolidge didnt think the feds should intervene in the thirties depression

Biden has a shoo in so long as he keeps in the cellar ( Blair manouevre)
Think the UK will also be treated as a third world Country, once Brexit really kicks in next year
