Are you saying that companies lose the ability to secure financing once they go public?

of course not - mentioned 3 routes to securing further financing. did you read about those 3 routes in my comment?

You mentioned them all mockingly. If you weren't trying to suggest none are viable, you need to reword.

This isn't hard: financing routes exist but they aren't as simple or easy or straightforward as the person to whom I was responding makes it seem.

They didn't imply it was notably easy. Your reply there only makes sense if you were trying to say it's nearly impossible. If you're just saying it's kinda hard then your post is weirdly hostile for no reason, reading theirs in an extreme way just so you can correct it harder.

> They didn't imply it was notably easy

Really? I must be reading a different language than English here

> There is always financing, there are always people willing to go to the competitor at some wage, there is always a way if the leadership wants to.

If "always a way" implies anything about difficulty, it implies that there are challenges to overcome, not ease.

I guess there's always a way to play devil's advocate <shrug>
