On this day, 26 September 1955, during a visit by dictator general Franco to Barcelona, underground resistance activist Francisco Sabaté hailed a cab and had it drive around the Catalan capital. During the journey he fired anti-regime leaflets through the sun-roof from a mortar he had assembled from inside his suitcase on the back seat. He reassured the worried driver saying “Don’t worry, I work for the government and I am distributing informational materials.” He later left the driver with a generous tip. This is a great detailed biography of Sabate: https://libcom.org/history/sabate-guerrilla-extraordinary-antonio-tellez

Acoffee shop owner once told me he raised their prices because their electric bill went “through the roof” when people with laptops started using their (three) outlets. So I looked it up: it costs $8 A YEAR to keep one whole laptop charged. He could have off set that (maybe) 50 bucks A YEAR by replacing his lightbulbs with compact fluorescents. But instead he raised his prices on coffee .50 and made an extra 200-400 bucks A DAY.

Never take what capitalists tell you for granted.
