When “asset-light approach” involves neither the physical removal of, nor dependence upon, nor ongoing spending on, assets. “AMZN will then lease the AI chips back from the SPV… By unloading the expensive semis to investors, the co. could adopt a more asset-light approach to its balance sheet.”

“Hold your nose and just say you oppose abortion” is screwed up for a lot of reasons, one of which is that’s a moral compass issue. Data centers don’t rank there. They’re almost universally a technocratic issue. So, worst case: hold your nose and just say you oppose data centers.
