You don't need $100 billion to buy manufacturing companies.

Bezos is doing some sort of AI-powered-PE deal? Seems bad. — Anyhow why this dude isn't just lying on a beach drinking daiquiris is beyond me, there have to be easier ways to entertain yourself than 12 figure startups.

The Epstein class is literally trying to take everyone's job and leave people to suffer and die with absolutely nothing. Billionaires are a national security threat and need to be dealt with accordingly.

This is the future people like @matthewstoller and @SohrabAhmari see for reshoring US manufacturing. It's reshoring in name only, as it does not create good paying jobs for regular people.

This must be part of Trump's plan to “re-industrialize” the rust belt.

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots. Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries. Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

this is a nightmare scenario: AI-aware foreign investors realise the value of manufacturing assets earlier than middle powers do. they'll buy it all, gvts think they're getting a great deal, and realise years later they gave away the assets that would've kept them live players.
