Because that’s not a lie; under special circumstances, it can be true.

For example, consider a restaurant that offers free rice refills because Asian people love eating rice to fill up. An employee working overtime who really needs it can get as many refills as they want.

Of course, this system falls apart if everyone starts doing it, as the restaurant would need to bake that cost into the price to sustain the business.

But my point is: you can have nice things in society, or you can have a dystopia where people take advantage of each other at every single opportunity.

The choice is yours.

A dystopia is where people lie about free rice bowls to get people in the door but can't deliver. That's not nice things its taking advantage of a lie and blaming people who take up the offer.
