of course you could because trump passed it. If he extended it you would agree with that too.

oh the irony with mr potato talking about ignorance. Free market !!! SAD!!!
They never have the truth on their side.Yeah, this could never happen in Texas:
Texas Restaurants Starved for Workers Find Creative Ways to Recruit Job-seekers
Restaurants that survived the pandemic are now facing a new problem: Finding people to work for them.www.nbcdfw.com
the reality is that too many owners and people accepted the bs and now they are suffering. Hard to feel sorry for people for following rather than leading
The people who didn't accept the restrictions and stayed open got fined or lost their license. Your viewpoint is beyond stupid!!
A lot of bartenders in cities are union like I believe NYC and AC. Years ago it was in the low to mid $20's an hour.
Hey Bus,
Chris Gotterup shot a 68 in the B1G Championship today. Lowest round of the day and tied for lowest round of the Tourney. Finished T6.
Stephen Starr restaurants are non Union. Frankford Hall sells more beer in Philly than any other non distributor. And they are mostly an outdoor spot.
Morey's Piers in Wildwood has 1,500 seasonal openings they can't fill for $15.00/hr.

So these businesses are in competition with the government for 'workers'?
The 'free market system' is to pay more because the government will 'pay' better for them NOT to work. Great country!
Never!
Absolutely pathetic they keep trying to push the same tired narrative in complete defiance of reality.
Trump wanted it extended before the election, but republicans would not do it.
Trump demands Congress increase second stimulus check from $600 to $2,000. Here are the chances of that happening
President Donald Trump is demanding lawmakers amend the Covid relief bill and raise the second round of stimulus checks to $2,000 per person, up from $600.
Today's Republican party is more populist than fiscally conservative. That is too bad because that is the only part of the party that was appealing.
Trump's executive order only guarantees $300 per week in enhanced unemployment for some workers
President Donald Trump signed an executive order to extend enhanced unemployment benefits at a reduced rate of $400 per week. But aides clarified this week that the order actually only guarantees $300 per week from the federal government.
So you say he didn't extend it but than post an article he did extend it at $300. Huh? What is your point?Trump wanted it extended before the election, but republicans would not do it.

Fiscally there is no effing difference between the elephant and the ass…they all love spending your money, POORLY.
The future is royally effed…
Maybe an E.L.E and a fresh start is what the planet needs…it’s time for the new Apex species to take over.

It's why I cook my own food save for maybe once in a while when I take a break and order in some Chinese food or something like that. I very rarely eat out because it's a rip off. I made me some bad azz eggplant parm Saturday.
i have spoken with a few restaurant owners on the Cape Cod and it is the housing shortage that is the issue. Any thing that can be rented has been rented and prices through the roof. People who would normally house a worker or two or Cape League player are not looking to do that this year. Workers on Visas mist have housing before they can come in for a job Per one restaurant. Help wanted signs are everywhere out here.
A bunch in Somerville are including personal favorites Tapastre and Project Pub.
That's interesting. The wife and I just spend a weekend in Wildwood at our condo and while I didn't got down the to the boardwalk I can tell you Cape May and the surrounding wineries are all hopping and the stores/restaurants all looked fully staffed. And while the staff where wearing masks very few people walking around Washington Street were and I'll say 50% of the people at the restaurants weren't wearing them when they got up to go the bathroom or to leave.
I agree that they never should have completely shut down and that is a greater issue. Although many of the restaurants around me were able to pivot to take out pretty fast. While some of them kept there staff most cut their staff drastically. I have a friend who owns a restaurant and even though it was a struggle he kept all his staff and now he is able to function without any service breaks.
You would be stunned by the amount of illegal workers working in restaurants especially large chain ones and Hotels
the entire restaurant industry would be on its knees if not for undocumented workers.
It's going to be an eye opener when the majority of people feel safe enough to return to pre-pandemic levels of eating out. The number of restaurants that have been forced to close since March 2020 is much higher than most people realize. Reservations will be required at places that you would never have thought would need them. Prices are rising to enable higher wages to servers and allow owners to recover some of their losses. This will mitigate some of the demand and people have become more comfortable eating at home.
Our family members are now use to ordering take out. Some family members are getting older and can’t easily get out of the house so on family occasions will now be at a family member home. I agree that so many restaurants closed that the remaining will be extremely busy.
3 words. Youth League Officials. There is a dire need for them and the pay is very good. My son made over 10G last summer umpiring high level travel baseball games. It's not easy, especially at the higher levels. The drawback is one needs the ability to take a lot of cr@p from the parents and coaches who have nothing better to do but live vicariously through their children.
You’d be hard pressed to find one restaurant in this area that doesn’t employ undocumented immigrants.
I don't know if you can assume people would work for servers salary if they didn't feel safe in the 1st place. I don't think it's our place to tell them what to do unless we are willing to walk in their shoes.
Now that there's a vaccine hopefully there will be an uptick in the industry. Getting back to pre pandemic days may never happen.
One thing about hiring undocumented immigrants is that you don't have to pay them what the market will bear. They won't unionize either. It's kind of like owners of small companies skimming. The law can clamp down on it, but that would be effectively ending small business in this country.
the draconian lockdowns led to fear. If restaurants and society weren’t shutdown people woukd still work.
The number of illnesses and deaths led to fear. Those folks don't live in a bubble. Close contact to large numbers of strangers with no idea whether they're carrying the virus or not and if you'll get very sick or bring it home would give most pause.
We can't get enough help at the hotel I bartend at part time and none of my friends can get enough people to work at their restaurants. And these are places where you make really good money
This. I didn't work behind a bar for over a year until I got vaccinated. Working my day job was good enough for me.
In 100 years there weren't hundreds of thousands dropping dead and a greater number getting very ill before the pandemic.
Without the "draconian" measures what would the numbers have been? You can't expect people to take that risk so we can have a burger and a beer.
you can make your points without being such a dick. (or can you? perhaps you're now framing your posts from that other insult master).
Posts were made as to why they thought workers weren't returning..specifically that they'd only make $40 bucks on a Mon or Tues and I offered the solution to that. I didn't say owners would love it... the service angle is one thing. Not having to raise prices, putting the cost on customers, and putting the risk on the servers are the key drivers.
And here..just for you I'll tee-up another opportunity for you to make a smart ass response. I'm not claiming to be an expert but have a brother who owned 2 establishments for 15 years and we both bartended for over 10 years each. So I do have just a TAD of insight and experience on the matter.
Id say numbers woukd be fairly similar as many studies have shown the measures may not have worked.
We take “risks” every day before and after the pandemic.
