At the risk of being downmodded, I must ask: why is this article on a site for HACKERS? Seriously, this article is SUIT NEWS all the way . . .

Higher interest rates = less credit & financing = fewer startups

Your conclusion assumes that startups are an intrinsic aspect of hacking, hackers, and the hacker condition.

I disagree.

Even if it were so, outside funding (credit and financing) is most definitely not an indispensable requisite to starting a startup.
