      I mean, yes, that’s what I said, but you do, of course, realise that’s worse, right? Like, not only are they not willing to pay for a service to be domestic, but they are willing to pay for it, to the people they want to decouple from.

        ?? They are willing to pay for a domestic service, presumably to people doing it domestically, just not more than what they’re currently paying to non-domestic people. I’m not sure how you are reading this.

          They are willing to pay for the service itself, but not to have it be domestic. Ie., they would like to have it be domestic, abstractly, all else being equal, but they’re not bothered enough to be willing to pay to actually make it happen.

            I don’t understand why you think it should be more expensive if it’s locally made.

              …I don’t understand why you think I think that.

                  83% want a domestic alternative, one in two (50%) would pay more for it. 83-50=33. 33% is one third. So, quoting my comment in full, “…So, a full third want a domestic alternative, but not to pay for it?”. That’s it. That’s what I said.

                  There is, as of now, exactly one (1) person in this entire thread that responded to my comment without either hallucinating things I didn’t write, or ignoring what I did. There are, also, as of now, between three and eight of you that can’t fucking read.

                    Those 33% do want to pay for it. Just NOT MORE. But they do want to pay. Why do you keep saying they don’t want to pay for it when the text says 83% are ready to pay for it? And somehow you still insist that it’s everyone else who’s wrong.

                    Here:

                    83% want a domestic alternative, one in two (50%) would pay more for it. 83-50=33. 33% is one third.

                    “…So, a full third want a domestic alternative, but not to pay for it?”.

                    Those two statements are contradictory.

            You’ve failed to understand the article and headline. The poll concluded that French people would be willing to pay a higher cost for goods and services that are domestic to France. Your last statement “… But they’re not bothered enough to be willing to pay to actually make it happen” is directly opposite the article. A vast majority are indeed willing to pay to make it happen which is why they stated such.

              And you’ve failed to read my first post: the majority are, but a third are not.

                Where are you citing a third? Maybe that’s where the misunderstanding lies.

                  83% want it, “every other” (50%) would pay, 83-50=33, 33% (a third) want it, but aren’t willing to pay to get it.

                    but aren’t willing to pay to get it.

                    No, you are reading that wrong.
