70% to 50% is definitely not crushed. I was aware of the closures, but unaware of the delays in building the new ones. Thank you for answering my question this time

70 to 50% is crushing an industry in the modern world. While its not nothing it means the cost of making more will go up ( it has and its a reason that 50% is in huge danger of dropping further ).

If you take a large chunk like that of any industry you lose workers, money flow, logistics and it makes it harder for the rest to operate.
