Time	Event
2:52a	Protesting a luxury-tourism event, ESP Barcelona's new city government, which is right-wing, illegally rented out the Parc Guell, and harassed residents of the neighborhood.

8:52a	Price-gouging the US public *Companies in the oil, hotel, meat and other sectors are price-gouging the US public.
