I honestly can't see the US keeping its developed status in the next 10 years or so.
I do wonder if countries can lose status, I've never heard of it but it could happen. To be fair, I think the whole classification system is wrong, I'm not saying under developed countries are bad, so this isn't me placing a value judgement. Just that I wonder if we're going to lose our status due to a huge number of observations.
-We don't really have resources, we take and consume. Due to Trump, we have a lot of weakened relations with countries and other countries are working with others who they normally wouldn't otherwise.
Not even down to just Trump but our choices in the past, we do have our enemies because a lot of that isn't fixable even if we wanted to.
-We are behind on a lot of things. Education ranks lowest among developed countries. Infrastructure is behind or now under developed or non existent. Construction sites aren't being built either, 100s of videos of sites being abandoned after trump's extreme deportation plan.
In most countries they have things like high speed rails and I've seen some really wicked stuff from Japan. Other countries are working on things like different energy efficiency, combating climate change and experimenting with food to try to feed the massive population in interesting ways and are largely more innovative by far.
-Our health programs, science and other programs are non existent. They were bad before Trump but Trump ended cancer research, vaccines, ended nursing as a professional degree.
Other countries are taking in our scientists because they are currently being punished by the US. There was news that hundreds of scientists are leaving. I keep up with technology and other things and what some other countries are doing is way more advanced by far.
- For jobs, around the world various programs are being initiated. They've already successfully ran small UBI experiments, gave people 4 day working weeks, sick leave, childcare and low to free transportation.
I dunno.. the point is that I don't really see our status lasting. It's not that I find under developed countries as bad, just that we seem to be heading that way ourselves. Because as other countries get more advanced, we will get further and further behind. My estimation is that we are at least 5 to 6 years behind everyone else and our current administration is accelerating it with things like ending science and nursing. So by the time Trump gets out of office we might be 7 or 8 years behind everyone else.
