We are seeing the F and B shortage in Austin. One bill they passed was to make permanent take out cocktails to go with the take out food.
Its not just restaurants.
My son runs a dental office that had the March April 2020 swoon and the State Government locked him down because he does mostly elective stuff in the office.
Once he could open back up (wisdom teeth at the end of the school year) when he recalled his staff, at least 50 percent said no thanks, unemployment and not working
was better. Over the next 6 months he has staffed up and is a little over staffed because there are so many jobs available, people still get COVID or just call in sick.
I dont see it as political, I think its economic. And it will sort itself out.
