Nov 2022

but what is it about people who just go about their business, live more or less fulfilling lives, that causes them to be the least bit interested in what the "rich and famous" are wearing, vacationing, or what homes they live in.

Most of these people have either inherited their fortune or made it off the backs of people like us. Just imagine the ego blow to them if all of us simply stopped paying them any attention. No adulation, admiration, fawning, or sycophantly, we simply all stopped watching shows about them, buying magazines about them or attempted to emulate them.

What is it about these people that causes any of you to be the least interested in their activities?
