    Which ones? I live in a low income, rural area in a red state. It is nothing like a 3rd world country, just not even remotely close. Yet.

      How many have you been to? I’ve been to a few.

      I didn’t realize that 3rd world is a derogatory term from the Cold War era so let’s switch to developing.

      One developing country I’ve been to is Paraguay. They have a literacy rate of 94.54% and apparently the global literacy rate is 86.3%

      Let’s look at US states now https://www.datapandas.org/ranking/literacy-rate-by-state

      Yes I just quickly googled these because this is social media, not a uni term paper
