‘We’re not ready for it’: As bars in Chicago reopen Friday, some say labor shortage makes full capacity impossible – Chicago Tribune*

“I’d love to say this is the most exciting thing I’ve heard in 16 months, but that excitement wanes a little bit when I say we’re not ready for it — and through no fault of our own,” said Christopher McDonald, director of operations for Timothy O’Toole’s Pub. “I don’t want 300 people walking in the door and only six people able to take care of them. The math doesn’t work.”

Oh Boy we’re open for business. Crying about not enough help! Haven’t seen any jammed roads to enter the city? What do you need more help? You’re not going to have customers. Who in their right mind would come to Chicago for anything? Gun battles and fire fights. Gun crews patrolling LSD or whatever they want to call it. Dead everywhere, bodies burning in vacant lots. Yea! Come to Chicago! Chicago is such a great place, Police can’t have days off. What does that tell you?

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. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
