Layoffs at everywhere happened because money got more expensive.

The whole industry didn't magically accumulate debt weight all at the same time in the same proportions.

Money becoming more expensive only matters for those who don't have any. I don't believe Google is one of them.

And before someone says opportunity cost, if the treasury offering a 5% ROI on your dollar is enough to dissuade you from executing on your business plan, that was never a very good business plan.
