Isn't there an obvious reason? The US outsourced everything physical to other countries. You can fill stadiums in the US with finance, marketing, software, and business experts.

Exactly, the problem is outsourcing.

Whatever you decide to outsource you gradually lose expertise in. Which should be obvious, as if I paid someone to fix my car for me all the time, I probably wouldn't come to be an expert in knowing how to fix it myself.

Heck, you could probably fill all the major cities in the US just with marketing people.
