This week’s episode discusses a consumer battle over airplane seat shrinkage, the “free” press and the buyers of Chicago’s Sun-Times, fake “jobs creation” for subsidies and publicity, and a new museum that features artists challenging capitalism. Also included is an interview with Dr. Harriet Fraad on why so many people hesitate so long before joining collective action to change economic and social conditions.

Before you go — An urgent appeal for your support
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when our journalism is most necessary, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to worsening political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 6 days and still need to raise $39,000. Please make a tax-deductible gift to Truthout at this critical time!
