Hotels aren’t complaining.

They’re happy to suck off the government teat.

Beats having to work for customers.

“Hotels say the new wage increase is unaffordable”

Well, that is the f’n point.

Don’t just talk about it. Do it! Give the maggots on the City Council something to really worry about.

From October and NYC...

https://nypost.com/2024/10/09/us-news/nyc-seeking-14000-hotel-rooms-to-shelter-migrants-through-2025/

“...The city projects that spending on housing for migrants over the past two years and this fiscal year combined will surpass a staggering $2.3 billion — much of it on rent paid to hotels in the Big Apple...”

My response to Big Hospitality: We bought a new tent.

In a free America, this communist garbage should never be allowed. But this ball has been rolling for quite a while now. I’m just amazed at how stupid communists are.

High minimum wages are to incentivize employers to hire illegal aliens under the table at lower rates.

It's the same with taxes on cigarettes. Such taxes are not to get people to quit but to instead allow the illicit unstamped or out-of-state stamped cigarette market to flourish.

Businesses say the large spike in wages will lead to closures, scaling back employees, and hotels backing out of agreements put in place for the 2028 Olympics

There is a very easy way to prevent these businesses from doing these things.....just make it illegal to do.

> Los Angeles City council voted to pass a $30 minimum wage for hotel and airport workers… <

Wow. But I don’t live in Los Angeles or even in California. Can I get one of those jobs and work from home?

Last time I flew to L.A. was 2010. I visited everywhere but L.A. Try the frozen bananas in Long Beach.

The real minimum wage will always be 0 dollars.

LA = Louisiana

L.A. = Los Angeles

When are journalists going to get it right?

Ok, L.A. = Los Angeles.

I was confused because I thought odds were against Lower Alabama having such a huge minimum wage.

Awh, come on...quit messing around. Give them the $250/hr they really deserve. After all, if $30/hr is good, $250/hr has got to be great!

Well, we were thinking about throttling back LA. Sounds like they will become the “self-licking ice cream cone” all by them selves.

Do they mean “homeless shelters” or “free lodging for illegal immigrants”?

Well, so much for “Fight for $15”...that ship sailed (as predicted). If I was a hotel chain, I’d be vacating a lot of facilities in the LA Metro Area.
