More Chicago Restaurants, Bars Going Out Of Business Amid COVID-19 Restrictions, Say City Hospitality Grant Won’t Be Enough – CBS2 (Chicago)

Without a rent moratorium, Streeterville restaurant owner Mauro Mafrici questions just how much a city grant will help. “This doesn’t make sense. If you’re not allowing me to serve nobody, they’re supposed to freeze everything. It’s a lot of restaurants in Chicago. I don’t think if you split $10 million with all the restaurants, I think it’s very little.”

If your barely scraping by in the resturant bus you hope your job gets bailed out with drop in the bucket $10 mill LOTTERY. While not one single city worker has been laid-off and im sure are collecting a ton of ot. Thats the equitable city progressives crave?

This may sound brash or rude. But, I’m no longer going to try to support these restaurants if they themselves don’t start standing up against these insane lockdown mandates. What happened to the rebellious/cutthroat spirit of this industry? I’ve never known anyone in this business to be so complacent before… Rent moratorium – hell no. Sorry. If you won’t stand up for yourself, I can’t help you either.

A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign

“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore.
