This is a good thing along with the ban on CBDCs. However, he mentioned conservation in the Everglades being important economically. The Everglades are known for sugar production by the Fanjul brothers, who get huge government subsidies and are top donors to both Republicans and Democrats. The sugar cane farms pollute the waters with phosphorus and other chemicals, and Alfonso Fanjul has refused to let the government use his land for cleaning it up. In the documentary The One Percent, the migrant workers claim they sometimes lose fingers cutting the sugar cane and have incredibly low wages. In 2023 the federal government began investigating Alfonso Fanjul's company for forced labor. DeSantis doesn't appear to be holding the Fanjul brothers to account and is instead allowing them to continue manipulating the government for profit.
