My only issue with the article is the reference to America as a first-world country. Crumbling and non-existent transportation infrastructure, a desperate workforce who can't survive on the wages they're paid, unaffordable housing, groceries, education and healthcare, and every day adults and children are getting shot by their community members. How can the US still be labeled "first-world"?

Exactly we haven't (if ever) been a first world country.
