Why wouldn’t a stock (e.g. a gold mine or google) escape a USD devaluation?

The only companies I see screwed are those that make long-term loans at fixed interest rates.

Because the cost of production inputs rise faster than they can pass on the costs to their customers. If no one suffered from inflation, we wouldn't bother measuring it.
