I remember my FIL asking each one if they were trying to supplement a living or if they were purely a for-profit capitalist venture taking advantage of an opportunity at an anti-capitalist protest.

Out of curiosity, how would he draw that line? When does it stop counting as a living and start being a purely for-profit venture?

No idea. I tried to get him to just simply observe and either buy something or not. I still have my pin somewhere, I think I know where it is. I'll look for it tonight and post it.
