Because that's what the news audience is interested in: the impact of the latest war on Amazon data centers. Which can be rebuilt and are owned by people with more than enough resources to do so endlessly.
publicizing news about the consequences of war, no matter the scale, incentivizes those involved to push for an end to conflict. Investors don't like it when companies have to spend money to rebuild things
Major damage to US corporate infrastructure seems more likely to have a real impact on the length of the war. Heart wrenching stories about humanitarian crises don't seem to have that sort of impact. Even if they would, there are too many of these stories to draw sustained public interest in any single event or group of related events. Corporate involvement at least has a board who has to try to take action on behalf of investors. It wouldn't be a romantic end, but it might be better than nothing.
I remember Bezos at the inauguration. He's spent millions on the administration, including the inaugural party and financing not only the first lady's documentary, but its positive reviews. All of them. And that's just the highlights; Bezos has given so much to promote this administration at every turn.
Glad to see this kind of multiplicative return on his investment. He is very literally getting the presidential experience he paid for.

Nah. The comments that say “duh, we already knew that.” And “borrrring” are always right.
(I agree with the otter)

And yet I'm sure they'll somehow find a way to make the little guy pay for the repairs

Damn it! We specifically said not to attack those!
Okay. One more time! Here's the no-go list:

If they can still repair it I guess more drones are needed
Fuck Amazon

In Soviet Russia, drone delivers to Amazon.

Not a lot of anti-air defences at a data center. Maybe this type of protest should become more common...

No the last thing we need is big tech private armies
WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 117d
The main armies are the private armies. They can't realistically do much more, they are up against an actual country.

They'll just lay off a bunch of people to cover the cost and have it rebuilt pretty quickly.

And all this shit is insured
ooterness@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 117d
Insurance never covers damages from war, because that's a good way to bankrupt the insurance company. Even they don't have infinite money.
somethingsnappy@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 117d
Not only are you wrong, there is also war risk insurance. Pricey, sure, but it's Amazon.
