Getting to the right answer isn't about responding with what you're sure is a witty response, that really has nothing to do with the topic.

You are over nine hundred thousand percent wrong. It has everything to do with the topic. If you read the report, you would see that the UN calls into serious question our plan and ability to move beyond nineteenth century technology as far as clean water distribution and sanitation for our most marginalized people. This is an infrastructure problem (you know, roads and aqueducts and things?), and our inability to meet our own needs as it pertains to infrastructure while simultaneously borrowing money from yellow people to kill brown people to the total tune of trillions of dollars over time is one of my central issues with this government, and the reason why this particular subject garnered my interest in the first place.

Go back here, and answer your own questions. That means you need to do a little bit of research on the UN and what it does, why it does it, and at what intervals it writes routine assessments of every country, and then reconsider whether the writing of a routine assessment equals your ridiculous accusations. Hint: You'll find that by your logic, every country in the UN is third world.

I mean, I see your point Uth, I do know what the UN is and what it does in a very general sense. That being said, I would be surprised if you could find that the UN told a majority of "1st world countries" that they had low confidence in a plan or ability to implement a basic human right. If that is true, it makes us - AT THE VERY LEAST - "towards the bottom of all developed countries as far as the sustainability of basic human rights for their citizens."
Spin that however you want. Do
your own research. I know (based on 1,000 swabs in five different communities in the bay area, part of a biological assay in my biotech program) that with our current water deployment technology, bacterial swabs of the vast majority of water outlets will yield viable colonies of
E. coli,
S. marcescens,
S. aureus, and
S. Enteriditis, among other nice little critters (the four listed were on ~90% of the 'clean' water outlets tested, with a smattering of other organisms found here and there). I know (based on hella hella documentaries and YouTube videos, and hella independent media reports / interviews) that in certain places in this country, corporations are allowed to rape nature in such a way as to make the ground water fucking flammable.
Let alone what fucking chemical impurities we allow into the "clean" water system at large.. Can you say "excreted in the urine?"
You've really got to be fucking kidding me dude. I know you're an educated person, but you're arguing the impossible. Shit is going to get worse, not better, and if we don't do something about it, the UN is going to be the least of our worries.
