Capitalism: steal first, apologize with no real repurcussions later

Sadly, it was Grace Hopper who said "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission."

Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper (9 December 1906 – 1 January 1992) was a U.S. Naval officer, and an early computer programmer. She was the developer of the first compiler for a computer programming language; at the end of her service she was the oldest serving officer in the United States Navy.

That brings me to the most important piece of advice that I can give to all of you: if you've got a good idea, and it's a contribution, I want you to go ahead and DO IT. It is much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.

Except she probably wasn't referring to identity theft; just how to handle dumb shits in management.

Yeah, there's some key qualifiers in there

if you’ve got a good idea, and it’s a contribution

Identity theft is neither a good idea or a contribution to society

trump x biden fan fiction being voiced with deepfaked voices is both a good idea, and beneficial to society.

Dumb shits in military management. And she was an admiral; near the top of that management.

Well, she did tell that she didn't get a budget, so they just effectively stole from other departments. Want a table that's not bolted down? Take it.

But that's Navy internals, (arguably) not a massive for-profit company that's going it out of sheer greed.
