I have trouble understanding double negatives and I want some reasonable person to explain what is being declared in this sentence:
from Thomas Sowell's "Basic Economics (Fifth Edition)" page 79:
"...neither individuals nor businesses are willing or able to pay for everything that is not useless, when they are spending their own money."
This might be a stupid question, but is this the same as saying "...individuals and businesses are not willing or able to pay for everything that is useless, when they are spending their own money"? This is how I interpreted it for myself.
