THE BIG IDEA

Happy Friday all,

Today’s missive takes a look at some big picture issues: crime, Amazon and Congress. It sounds like a nightmarish version of those free association games. I assure you it’s much more interesting:

  • Why Amazon cares if weed is legal
  • New kinds of pot crime
  • Is fifth time the charm on banking reform?

Here we go,

Alex
