Merle - I appreciate your open-ness about this... I would not have expected you to have voted for his Orangeness, but I was not surprised that you had trouble with HIllary. Absence of Evidence vs Evidence of Absence? I'm surprised you refer to Trump's behaviour as "transparent"... he

Marcus, Good point and that took a moment to grasp. What you point out is a very complex issue, much more than a simple transform of a matrix. Which also may be regarded as leaving no footprints. Or so I thought, but we all seem to use "mental maps" -Original Message- From: Friam

Re: [FRIAM] Santa Fe's Sugar Tax

When it came time to cast my vote for President, I was very worried about the absence of transparency coming out of the Clinton campaign. Hillary had obviously been guilty of many breaches of protocol during her time in the government. I didn't have the data I needed to refute the obvious

Re: [FRIAM] Santa Fe's Sugar Tax

I think one of the useful arguments in this vein is the one often lobbed against the concept of a free market. There is no such thing; and there will/can never be such a thing. So, your question seems to assume there is a "true" economy by comparison to the "false" economies (or an upside

Gil- For what it is worth, I recommend that you buy local honey from a local beekeeper, probably off the books, not subject to sugar (or any other kind of) tax. It will be much healthier for you (the local pollens help with allergies, etc.) and will support a local economy well beyond the

For the FRIAMers in Santa Fe who might be interested in the sugar-tax vote There's an interesting issue coming up on a May 2nd city ballot here in Santa Fe: Whether the city can tax drinks with sugar. I may have a short letter running in The New Mexican this week, but here is the link to
