You voted for running the country like a business, you get businesses in your back yard.
A business is under no obligation to ensure that employees in underperforming departments get the star treatment. If agriculture-oriented rural towns generated as much money as grifting the stock market with AI does they'd be treated accordingly. As it is they're a cost center and will be neglected or cut entirely.
That's not how a country is usually run but for a business it's very much on par.
