I live in a 3rd world country too (Switzerland) and i can tell you that the stability of our money (politics?) is 90% of our wealth, otherwise we would have literary nothing (with the exception of water (but who knows for how much longer)).

>>The term Third World was originally coined in times of the Cold War to distinguish those nations that are neither aligned with the West (NATO) nor with the East, the Communist bloc.

Sorry, I don’t understand your comment. And I don’t think Switzerland is a 3rd world country (6th country by GDP per capita).

They are making a joke.

“Third world” was just a grouping of nations that didn’t align themselves with the USA or USSR during the cold war.

Over time labelling a country as “3rd world” become the de facto way of categorising it as a “developing country”.
