He described cutting that back on purpose — &quot;it's way too many&quot; — down to a family business handling a small number of customers, on the reasoning that the headaches of supporting that many clients with that many staff cost more than they returned. It is an unusual thing for a vendor to say out loud on the radio, and it was the first thing out of his mouth. The bulk of the segment was Craig on juries, prompted by a trial in the news. His argument runs through English common law: the grand jury sits at the top of the structure, and can refuse to indict — he cites a state where one grand jury refused for six months to return any indictment for income tax evasion, on the view that the tax itself was invalid. A trial jury holds a version of the same power and can decline to convict even where the law was plainly broken. Above both sits the legislature, the &quot;general court,&quot; which can overrule court and executive decisions. Craig's point is that this is roughly a thousand years old, predates the Magna Carta, and was written into the U.S. Constitution deliberately: &quot;We are the sovereigns, not the government.&quot; His concern with the current case is a prosecutor seeking to remove the one juror who disagrees. Also in this segment: The care routine behind the Canada trips: Karen cooked 35 meals, vacuum-packed and froze them, and they drive up every few weeks to clean and do laundry for Craig's mother Craig's stepbrother — a Cisco salesman, so a technical person — and the trade argument that ended with Craig dropping it to keep the peace at a family gathering Bombardier, which makes regional jets and Prevost buses in Quebec, and the tariff push to move that work stateside Nexus passes, the relatives who have not crossed the border in two years, and Jim's memory of watching buses unload Canadian shoppers at the American Falls bound for Walmart and Target Jim's opening, unprompted: Craig's Insider Notes come out weekly, there's no charge, &quot;he's not going to chase you down or try to sell you something&quot; Free newsletter and Insider Session announcements: CraigPeterson.com Craig Peterson - Secure Your Business, Your Privacy, and Save Your Sanity https://cptt.libsyn.com/podcast <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/42926792/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/42926792
