Sure is.

40 years ago a farmer bought a tractor figuring he would still be farming with it 40 years from then. Tractors were made from cast iron and steel, were easy to work on, and were very reliable. They, and all their parts, were made in North America by people who had a work ethic.

40 years later our modern tractors are made from plastic, are "computerized", require a computer to work on them, and are not so reliable. Most of the parts, if not the whole tractor, are made in countries most people can't find on a map by people who really don't care if the thing lasts a week in the field.
