The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday in favor of raising the hourly minimum wage for tourism workers (including airport and hotel workers) gradually to $30 by 2028.

These bureaucrats have never signed the front of a paycheck but they come up with the mandates for employers.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Why not make it a million dollars an hour for everybody?

Then we can all be millionaires!

[markman46]

And restaurants and hotels will slowly go out if business in L.A.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

And just like that granola bars flew off the shelves for travelers..

[usurper]

Most of these restaurant workers will soon be unemployed and their new minimum wage will be zero.

There, fixed it.

Yep, when customers can't pay the price, there is no need for workers.

[small farm girl]

Great! Now I can pay $14 for a coffee and $20 for a glass of house wine and no idea what fried oysters will be, I can’t even make up that number.

[existentially_kuffer]

Any value increase in service accompanying the wage increase?

I’m betting zero to negative.

[Kazan]

The handful that will still have a job will.

The vast majority will be looking for other work.

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t see how anyone can continue to survive in California. There seems to be no end to the stupidity of the leadership there.

[1Old Pro]

So no need to tip, now.

[dakine]

Reading this while sitting at an LAX bar...

[Gen.Blather]

My guess is the company’s effected will close.

[ClearCase_guy]

Philosophically,I oppose minimum wages.

But people need to realize that costs in the US keep rising and have been rising steadily for decades — while wages have been essentially flat since 1970.

People cannot buy a home. People cannot rent an apartment. People cannot afford to socialize, get married or have children.

Wages are too low. Wages need to go up. It’s a complicated matter, and perhaps CA isn’t approaching this the right way. But the bottomline is that workers deserve to be paid better than they are right now, in virtually all industries. Anyone who doesn’t see that is a dumbass.

[Mouton]

Only applies to those still working.

As Thomas Sowell has said, the true minimum wage is zero.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Anyone who doesn’t see that is a dumbass.

How many jobs have you created for other people?

[Redleg Duke]

I imagine that a lot of restaurants will be closing their doors. They are not charities.

[Redleg Duke]

Probably not that slowly.
