An Oversimplified Explanation of What Went Wrong with our Policies

*Note- this is a real conversation that I had with a friend of mine. Grammatical errors have been fixed but those are the only changes I have made. A reference to our location as also been erased. As the title hopefully implies, this explanation is hopelessly simplified but I hope it makes the point.
Goku
what evs. I'll order the campus special
Maverick
you can't
Goku
I found a loophole. I'll just go to the Family housing which is like 5 seconds from my apartment, have it delivered there and then walk back home with the pizza
Maverick
I don't know if family housing is allowed that special
Goku
it's on campus therefore yes
Maverick
I don't know if it's dorms/greek houses only or the entire campus
Goku
entire campus I already tried this trick
Maverick
ok
Goku
according to 5 star i am a Ph.D student living in University Village
hehehehe
Maverick
-_-
Maverick
weren't you the one talking about everybody taking responsibility for their own actions?
Goku
huh? what does that have to do with this?
Maverick
Think about it, if everybody cheated the system, what happens? The people that the system was created for, do not benefit. Funds are misallocated
Goku
it's pizza, NOT SOCIAL SECURITY
Maverick
The only difference is degree. If you have x principles, you should apply them to everything.
Goku
the difference is I get pizza now and social security I might never get
Maverick
and if everybody did what you are doing, then nobody will get the campus special
because the company can't afford it
Goku
not my problem
Maverick
that's the point!!! THAT'S WHAT PREVIOUS GENERATIONS SAID ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY!!!
"Not my problem". Now look at the fix we're in
Goku
well we are all dying in 2 years so I don't give a shit. Lets go pretend make out
Maverick
and if we don't? and if the world doesn't end? Then what?
Goku
then yay more pizza
Maverick
not if you cheat the system
Goku
I'll just go and scam dominos then until I'm done with all the pizza joints in this town.
Maverick
pretty soon, only the very rich will be able to afford pizza
Goku
at that point I move to a new city then repeat the process
Maverick
practice what you preach my dear
