Something entirely like money in every relevant way is required.....if onerous. That feeling that money is..in many ways..dirty, is what lead the old man to put the basket up in the first place. He was doing something he enjoyed doing, that he would do anyway. He didn;t want to sully it with business...but that didn;t mean he had no costs or that what he was doing produced no value.
I, like him, would do this even if no one payed me. I;ve been known to pay other people in the past, either literally or effectively to allow me to do so. I don;t know if you've ever seen the pictures I used to post of the research farm I worked on down in s. florida....but, I quit a 70k a year job for the privilege of driving two hours a day and being payed the federal minimum wage..just to see how it worked. Not just the production method....it was the business model that interested me.
Affluent people have affluent hobbies and tastes....and if you can provide them with a product they value, you can then redirect that money to people who have none..in a variety of ways. The product they value is not the tomato they buy...although the poor man who has nothing values the tomato in excess of what he can afford to give. I facilitate that transfer. Quiet class war....clandestine redistribution of wealth.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
