The US has embraced farm automation. Uncle Remus ain't out in the field 
picking cotton anymore; he's collecting welfare and having mostly peaceful 
gatherings.

The Roma tomato is a good example. It doesn't taste like much but it's 
been bred to have a squarish shape for more efficient packing and to be 
tough enough to survive mechanical harvesting. For transport from the 
fields the tomatoes are loaded into large open bins like huge bathtubs. 
They're piled as high as possible so the freeways sometimes resemble 
ketchup from the spillage.

Some factory operations have been automated but processes like shoe 
production were shipped to Asia. The first choice was the Mexican 
maquiladoras but then the uppity Mexicans wanted a living wage.
