Societal values will change over time, but it's not gonna burst in a day. While a true stock market bubble could burst in a day.

yeah the student loan issue is a crisis created by bad government policy. it doesn't have the same immediate deflationary concerns (aka, the "pop") that a true bubble has. this is b/c it's not an area where money has flooded by private investment to create artificial inflation to pump and dump. also the value of the product is much more intangible than tactile property (a house, car, gold, cryptos, whatever). there is no secondary market for a college degree to be sold, and universities aren't going to slash tuitions by 50% in a year. it's just it's own crisis

And tech startups aren't a bubble IMO, there are tons that fail and you'll never hear about them, you just hear about the ones that don't fail

i think the big boys are a huge bubble and are creating bubbles within bubbles with their over-valued acquisitions

companies have to create profits at some point, and pumping all revenue into expansions to pump up stock prices is, by definition, creating a bubble. most tech companies are doing this with their primary stock and then creating insane inflation within smaller companies that they then acquire (aka, the big boys got pumped and dumped). it's just insane now
