Saddest place is Honduras. Washing the deformed feet of kids was heartbreaking but it was also nice to send them off with some new kicks and threads and build a unity center.
Worst place has to be Mississippi Delta (Greenville leading the way) or Montgomery Alabama. Followed closely by Jackson Mississippi and then rural Louisiana.

be careful how you answer - it's important
True Greenwood is the second best delta town/city behind Cleveland, which is a low bar, but there are plenty of worse places in the delta.

Gary in, Dearborn mi, East Chicago in. I have worked in these areas for over 20 years. Steel mill towns are the worst.

Even in the airport where you must go out of the terminal, walk down the sidewalk and go back inside to avoid a 35M2 puddle seeping up through the floor. The money it would take to get me to work there again hasn't been printed yet.
Luanda. A man eating out of a pile of trash next to a coffee shop while the locals acted like he wasn’t there. The country is so beautiful with many natural resources and it’s just squandered away. I could say so much more about the depravity but it’s just too depressing.

Generally, anywhere children begin their morning hungry, not knowing if they'll have anything to eat that day.
Luanda, Angola and Lagos, Nigeria with large areas that are incredibly filthy and poor. Their enormous oil wealth could mitigate much of that but the elites steal it all and when they can live in Europe.
Taxi drivers in small coastal Honduras and Columbian towns, who buy a few small fish in the morning and hang them off their car mirrors on strings to dry out in the hot sun for the family meal that day.
China employs millions of rural men and women for construction projects doing manual, dangerous labor. They are viewed as expendable, the willing participants enormous in size, easily replaceable. Death is an accepted job hazard of no concern to the managing class.
Small, poor villages in Vietnam can change their economic fortunes dramatically just by collectively owning a water buffalo to help with growing rice. I've contributed to charities that help them buy one, at the time only $500.
For sheer poverty and a life of despair with no hope of improving, nothing beats India's large cities and their Caste system, IMO the closest thing to entrenched, legalized slavery in the world.
Open sewers, begging children by the thousands hoping for just one bowl of rice that day. The Untouchable Caste who empty latrines and clean open street sewers with buckets and are happy to have a job.
The stench in parts of Mumbai (Bombay) is overwhelming. Brahman cows walking freely in parts of the city shitting everywhere, protected by Hindu religious beliefs.
It was the most depressing large, supposedly civilized city I've ever seen.
Every American should travel off the beaten path or live overseas for a short while just to realize, despite all our shortcomings, how good we have it in the U.S.A.

That's all true but Nigeria is still worse.

Got fast food, unloaded all my valuables out of the car, loaded a live round in my G19 and locked the door. Called the wife and told her if she didn’t hear from me by 7 call tge local sheriff.
