Selling shit on the subway is illegal. The reason this man is capable of making a profit is because he has almost no competition. It has nothing to do with entrepreneurship, being a good salesman, having a good idea, or really anything positive other than the giving spirit of some New Yorkers. He's milking a system in which he exists illegally and if it were actually legal to sell shit on the subway, the subway would be significantly less tolerable and he wouldn't be able to come close to making a good living.
