Re: Sheetz hit with federal discrimination lawsuit

A sizeable chain of convenience stores headquartered in my area has been hit with a federal discrimination suit . I am trying to make sense of this. A convenience store chain where President Joe Biden stopped for snacks this week while campaigning in Pennsylvania has been hit with a lawsuit by feder...

Re: Sattler College Turmoil

Business opportunities serving low-tech Anabaptist groups

Anabaptists who don't use certain technologies present a unique set of business opportunities for those interested in meeting their resulting needs. We've seen this a long time in providing transportation for plain groups who will not drive vehicles, but will hire others to do so. In this discussion...
