Right Livelihood
The current understanding of right livelihood is poor. I personally find discussion on the subject shallow. Most discussion ends at do what's not harmful to you and others, and avoid what's harmful. Obvious examples are slave trade, sex trade, military forces. To understand this subject more deeply - and to provide more careful advice to people who care - we need to look deeply into the bowels of societal operation - and propose a realistic program. The bottom line is how you are earning your living. The most fundamental response is: you must produce things.
Now this discussion becomes deep. It insinuates elimination of bureaucracy, small enterprise with you as boss, elimination of most of the armed forces, the end of sales (#1 job in America), among others. Deep discussion required.
In my slanted view, the solution is small-scale production systems. Today's information economy enables small scale productive enterprise, that which is now done by centralized systems and a small portion of the population
