'What jobs?' Trump's buddy sparks firestorm as new plot for robot takeover revealed

One of President Donald Trump's corporate allies sparked a firestorm on Thursday after his plans to lead a robot revolution in manufacturing were revealed.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Amazon's Jeff Bezos is in talks to raise $100 billion to acquire manufacturing businesses and automate them with artificial intelligence. The report was published at a time when economic experts at the Federal Reserve had expressed concerns about the "almost zero" job growth over the previous year.
