Extracting value from natural resources is nowhere near as easy/cheap/quick as programming a new app, but in some ways that's also our economic moat. You can have a thousand chips or programmers working over time, but you can't code yourself wheat or minerals. Never mind the fact those chips and programmers don't run on magic particles.
It's not sexy, but resource extraction is what sets us apart. It may also be one of the reasons we get invaded at some point (or why Trump even talks about taking us over), but hey that's another conversation, ha.
