You've got your example dead wrong. American farming didn't "just die," it got insanely more productive.

And a lot of the industries people want back didn't "just die," they just got moved so the "extreme winners" could profit off them even more. And then those same winners and their defenders always go "herp derp, industries gone, nothing we can do! Don't fight it, just repeat: gone foreverrrr."
