Chicagoans are flocking to restaurants and bars as COVID-19 restrictions loosen. That’s great for business, but it brings a host of new challenges. – Chicago Tribune*

One issue receiving a burst of attention is a lack of available employees to serve those returning customers. The issues run deeper, though: Costs of ingredients are up, availability of seemingly everything is down, no-shows and last-minute cancellations play an outsize role, and entire business models are being rethought.

It’s so infuriating to read articles like this about labor shortages and the article COMPLETELY IGNORES THE QUESTION THAT MAKES THE ARTICLE: Why is there a labor shortage?

Because they dare not question Biden’s extra $300 a week Pandemic Unemployment Assistance. So they completely ignore the question WHY CAN’T EMPLOYERS FIND WORKERS?

This is why no one wants to subscribe to the trib. It’s a worthless rag not fit for firepit kindling.
