In this week's podcast, our quote of the day will be from author Robert Heinlen on the issue of taxation and tyranny. 
We'll give you some advice on why you should try and avoid booking airline travel the last week of any month. 
We'll talk about the Richter scale that measures earthquake severity and why a 6.4 magnitude earthquake is twice as powerful as a 6.2 earthquake.

We'll talk about the Scoville scale that measures the heat intensity of Chile peppers, how hot the world's hottest pepper and where it is being grown. 
We will review the new IRS tax brackets and standard deductions for 2023 and why you will likely be paying lower Federal Income taxes in 2023. 
We will play a 5-minute speech by Texas Congressman Chip Roy on the floor of the US House of Representatives on December 23 to an almost empty House chamber. He criticizes his colleagues for leaving town without bothering to read the 4,000-page, $1.7 Trillion spending bill that they will be voting on remotely using a pandemic-era rule exception to the in-person voting requirement. See a video of that powerful speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtKo9EEalwI.
Our taxpayer relief shot will continue last week's "Women & guns" theme, where a woman uses a gun to shoot and kill a man who violates an active restraining order when he kicks down the door of her home and threatens her with a knife. See a video of that incident here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yCAjMgXm-s.
