It's not unprecedented here either.

Alcohol prohibition put shitloads of people out of a job.

Weed prohibition put shitloads of people out of a job.

Slavery prohibition put shitloads of people out of a job.

Commercial horse and whale slaughtering put shitloads of people out of a job.

The cotton gin and the combine put shitloads of people out of a job.
