(The Center Square) - Los Angeles City council voted to pass a $30 minimum wage for hotel and airport workers, along with an additional healthcare benefit starting at $8.35 per hour for employees of businesses that do not provide health insurance.
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 — and could threaten the city budget....
Hotels say the new wage increase is unaffordable, especially with income for many hotels flat as other costs rise, and could leave some with no option but to convert to homeless housing....

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...
“...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.
“convert to homeless housing....”
Yeah, I see the ending well 👌
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.
There is a very easy way to prevent these businesses from doing these things.....just make it illegal to do.

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.
“It’s the same with taxes on cigarettes.”
I was standing in line at the checkout in Walmart the other day. I noticed the premium cigarettes such as Malboro were just shy of $10 a pack. I had no idea that they cost that much.
LA = Louisiana
L.A. = Los Angeles
When are journalists going to get it right?
“High minimum wages are to incentivize employers to hire illegal aliens under the table at lower rates.”
There’s a clause in most union contracts that union wages will be X percent above the minimum wage. This is what drives ALL increases in the minimum wage.
“”Hotels aren’t complaining.””
Staying true to FR tradition - the first three paragraphs ARE complaints from businesses.....
driving up inflation further. Liberals never learn
When the state stops paying for the Illegals housing—this will suddenly stop. In California goes broke and Trump doesn’t send money—the world may change.
Decisions like that are easy when you are playing with Monopoly money.
