Given what you just said about how people cut costs during a down cycle, why GOOG and not AMZN? Seems like discretionary spending (and a lot of Amazon's sales are impulse-buy junk rather than essentials) is also likely to take a huge hit.

Amazon makes most of their money from AWS. The webstore is the majority of the business - but in some ways it's irrelevant.

And AWS is expensive. Hard up businesses could cut serve costs
