The survey already used percentages. As for not thinking - it would seem to me worrying about the effects of one's purchases on the local economy, and the knock-on effects this has on sovereignty and politics, takes more thought than just short-sightedly picking the cheaper option no matter what.

- BrandoElFollito 2y agoMost people, no matter the place. A lot if people are surprised when they discover that 100 + 50% - 59% is not 100. I do not like percentages myself, I would prefer we say 0.8 of something because the option becomes a simple multiplication and it is easier not to make mistakes
