Small-time capitalism: void where prohibited by IPAT

Forget all that pick yourself up by the bootstraps jazz --- the micro-enterprises by which people have traditionally survived in a country without much of a social welfare net by selling meat on a stick or other things have been thrown out of one of their customary habitats, the area around the ATLAPA convention center.

ATLAPA is run by the IPAT government tourism agency, which is headed by noted entertainer Rubén Blades.
