LA Hotels Revolt as City Approves $38 Minimum Wage
John Sexton  9:20 PM | May 23, 2025
 
Los Angeles is hosting the 2028 Summer Olympics. The games were awarded to the city back in 
No one is suggesting that the Games be postponed or canceled in response to the fires. But there is rising concern that an already difficult endeavor for both Los Angeles, the main host city, and LA2028, the private committee in charge of raising most of the money and running the Games, has become staggeringly complicated.

Mike Bonin, a former City Council member who voted in support of the Olympics when the effort came before the Los Angeles governing body for approval in 2017, said the wildfires posed a “nightmare scenario.”

This is more money to change sheets, buff floors, and do the other jobs in hotels than a derrick hand gets on a drilling rig. They are f'n nuts. How many of their 'staff' are illegals?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

How many LA hotels will still be in business in 2029? 

0 hrs @ $38/hr = $0

Bear in mind that from the business side, that forty bucks an hour is dang near double that in actuals (what with withholdings and insurance and etc)... So rule of thumb, that maid stuffing towels and making beds costs 80 bucks an hour.

That's flat insane.

Derrick hands don't have to live in LA where everything is more expensive than it is even in oil patch boom-towns.

Still, the actual minimum wage is $0/hour, which is what you get when you don't have a job because some leftist decided to decree you must be paid more than your labor is worth on the open market.
