I have always held that technology changes rapidly; people slowly. A friend sent me this video “The First Gas Station” and it summarizes for me how people must have felt when horses went to steam engines and steam to gasoline. No different than those who think electric vehicles won’t make it. Throughout history small minds
With the 2020 tax filing season upon us I wrote to Zach Clayton the North American Brand Manager at Cake 0 Emission regarding the possibility of USA Cake owners having the ability to take the IRS tax credit of 10% on our 2020 returns. I had researched what the IRS is looking for in order
