The tech world shows us that the winning strategy is to just go ahead and do what you want, ideally with consistent financial backing, and pay our way out of any issues that arise.

Just because something is illegal (speeding, jay walk-ing) doesn’t mean I’m some sort of psychopath for ignoring those laws - I make a calculation about how likely it is I’ll be caught vs. time saved. Similarly a business looks at a penalty and makes a judgement. This isn’t some insane immoral concept.
- dylan604 4y ago>There is criminal and there is civil. Okay, but everything you said after that has nothing to do with that statement. You choosing to break laws has nothing to do with criminal vs civil. It has everything to do with where your moral compass points. You choose to break rules because you've decided to do that based on whatever moral integerity you do/don't have.
- seibelj 4y agoSure but many laws are ridiculous and immoral. See slavery segregation anti-women laws etc. etc. People love to get in their moral high horse when it suits them (“Business bad!”) but conveniently ignore it in other cases.
