Episode notes
Geopolitics Driven By Neocon Influence
- Dr. Ron Paul argues neocons push regime-change wars and flatter leaders into them, using Venezuela as a likely target.
- He warns Trump may seek a quick foreign "win" to distract from domestic and foreign problems, making war temptation real.
Stock Key Snowblower Spares
- Keep spare shear pins, drive belts, spark plugs, and a spare carburetor for quick snowblower fixes during storms.
- Flush fuel by shutting off the fuel line and running the engine dry each season to protect the carburetor.
Handle Review Gear As Barter Income

- If items are truly gifts, loaned units, samples consumed in testing, or worthless to your business, tax treatment differs.
