I believe it happened I’ve had many insane conversations with people like this.

Like food banks and people will say well what if people that don’t need it go there. I’m like so what, if 1 in a 1000 abuses a system it doesn’t mean we should make the 999 suffer by removing it.

I only care when a single individual or group picks all of the fruit from the public trees just so that they can sell it down the road and profit from it.

Not sure about this particular conversation, but for extreme capitalists this is a thing. a Robert Heinlein novel is a place for them to start and misunderstand.
