The Velvet Hammer Episode 4: [sensitive content warning] This week after a small change in libations, we discuss a country-wide protest in Argentina against the new president’s sweeping austerity measures. We break it down further analyzing the elimination of public transit subsidies which massively increases the cost of getting to and from work (almost 3x)! The worst topic? Pumping fresh water aquifers into the sewers as a means of setting a foundation for new building constructions–when there’s so many areas worldwide in drought! Or even worse? We complain about the plight of black people and the prison system in the US.

Coming every Thursday, this is The Velvet Hammer with your hosts, Jonny, Tom, & Tadeo, three American expats recording from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Brought to you by One Eleven Entertainment.
