This is a valuable distinction to make. The US isn't a first world country in the same way as most other first world countries. It's a rich country and a really poor country Frankensteined together.

Frankensteined together

They are a stubborn people. As everything else they insist on doing it in their own unique wasy.

Adressing the vast inequality in the U.S. can fix so many auxillary problems.
