Why?

In the current context talk about a recession isn't due to any sort of tech bubble. Talk about a recession is due to issues with the financial system and debt.

A small recession caused by a tech bubble would honestly be more desirable (in my mind anyway) than what issues with the financial system and debt could produce.

Also, a downturn in the tech industry now wouldn't necessarily be because of a tech bubble, but rather due to lack of confidence in the financial system as a whole.

Agree. I was speaking in the context of funding available to startups. On the one hand people seem to think there's way too much VC money readily available. On the other hand, this money has to come from the financial sector and it can't if it's a recession.
Is it coming from the same part of the financial sector?
