DOJ sues Sheetz gas station for not hiring black criminals.

Apparently the law says that some practice that maintains the safety of staff and customers is only allowed if there isn't an equally effective alternative available that is simultaneously less discriminatory.

How are they going to demonstrate a viable alternative? Establishing whether there is risk to safety means assessing a person's behavior, including past behavior. So, you want to see if there is a record of past criminal behavior.

What viable alternative exists for doing this other than consulting a person's criminal fucking record?

What, are they going to say you could conduct a psychological test? A personality questionnaire? Yeah, the second they implement that, they'll still get sued into oblivion if the outcome results in less blacks being hired.

They are really struggling at this point to avoid saying what's obvious: they don't care about your independent ability to choose what's best for your business. They don't care whether you take measures to ensure your safety. These groups are surviving and thriving by forcing you to compromise on your own freedom and the extent to which your intelligence facilitates acting freely.
