    “Developed” countries see “undeveloped” countries (or whatever euphemism you want to use) as Others. We may be the target of their charity or of their pity sometimes, but we remain a mysterious monolith. I’m reminded of that whenever someone says “The US is [generally something bad] among developed countries”.

    I’m not angry about it. I get it. I still wish it wasn’t that way.

    As trivia, at least one “undeveloped” country has universal healthcare.
