Los Angeles just approved a $38 per hour minimum wage and hotels are rebelling in the face of insolvency.

This law applies to airports and hotels only.

BTW LA is about to host the Olympics and will need tehse hotels,but leave it to liberals to befoul their own environment.

When I started working I was paid $3 an hour and was grateful to get it; it was sixty cents more than minimum wage at the time.

This wage cannot be paid, plain and simple. Minimum wage is for unskilled labor, and hotels use a lot of that - maids, bell boys, etc. Make them pay this ridiculous amount and the prices MUST skyrocket or the hotels will close.

Frankly, the hoteliers should simply close up, putting L.A. in a bind. It's the only way to stop this sort of thing.

Liberals do not understand that without profit businesses have no reason to operate. It's why the Soviet Union never had anything; there was no profit and so no reward for hard work or risk taking. Life was miserable there because the People had nothing, and that was because there was no incentive to make or do anything.

L.A. has just become a People's Republic.
