Act Out! [150] - Expensive Bombs & Toilet Paper + the Gun Talk We’re Not Having, But Need To
Wed, 2/28/2018 - by Eleanor Goldfield
This article originally appeared on Occupy.com

This week on Act Out!, taxes are right around the corner so we felt it an apt time to talk about some of the big winners on tax day. Spoiler alert: It's not you and me. Next up, we take a look at what it costs to get the worst accommodations in America. And finally, an angle on the gun debate you won't hear discussed primarily because it could and would unite us more than divide us. scott crow joins us to talk about his latest book and the tools of resistance and building from yesterday to today.
