However, acknowledging that we are all just people is not profitable so that reality will never be accepted by some. All of the industries that rely on our being convinced that we need this or that to be just like the rich or that it will make us model thin or whatever all plays into that desire to keep us at each others throats so that they can milk us all and then turn around and pay their political cronies to make sure no new laws will interfere with that profit. DeSantis knows this. He revels in the fact that his ego is bigger than his white boots.
