I get it but it’s unsustainable, we need cost of living and housing costs to come down!

What’s with California setting weird one-off minimum wages for specific industries? How do you rationalize a $30 minimum wage but only if you work for a hotel?

Hell yeah! One day, one day I’m gonna make it to that perfect promise La La Land. South Central. With the $30 per hour minimum wage. And the gold. And the vineyards. And the redwoods. And the perfect weather. And the angelic hookers. And the drugs.

Seriously. That is more than some graduate degree care wages. What is going to happen to calibrate education and experience?

Problem I see is this… whatever that pay discrepancy is between my current wage and minimum wage, I will expect that difference to be made up.
Imagine devoting X years to a job finally making 30 hr and someone gets that overnight.

I like the idea, but this is not free money. It’ll cause massive layoffs and increased prices. That’s a huge change to enact all at once. Ballot measure 1 here in Alaska raises the minimum wage in increments every year.

And no one reads the article and the headline is misleading. It’s industry specific

They should vote to police the companies so they don’t just raise costs across the board to fuck everyone some more

I wish minimum wage was based on something like wage disparity between employees and total revenue or something.
It’s one thing for a small business paying less, it’s another for amazon paying the same.

Wealth inequality will not be solved in any meaningful way by raising the minimum wage. It will lead to rampant inflation, job losses, and faster adoption of AI. The economically vulnerable will be paying the price. Different measures need to be taken that will make the wealthy pay.
Is an atheist allowed to say that hoarding resources is sinful? Access to food and healthcare should be a human right. Not just for the US, for the entire world.
Instead, we’ve decided that greed is a virtue.

bro. At what point are you not helping erase the middle class? It needs to be everyone against the rich. We need a universal income. $30 when some of the US is still at $7. $30 is what a lot of very educated people make.
This isn’t helping anyone. You’re just voting to solve the issue for you. Not everyone else.
And yes I realize it’s for hotels.
I’ve been in different customer service jobs for $30 years. This only solves your issue and I guarantee you’ll pull up the ladder before helping anyone else.

Great way to send more employers packing and leaving the lowest rung of economy worse off.

I love the idiots that are saying „This will cause inflation“ like they haven’t been raising prices/cost of living anyways? And their answer is what? Just do nothing? Genius.

Setting such a drastically higher minimum wage than everywhere else just incentivizes industries to leave and find cheaper labor. A lot of businesses are leaving this state and as a result we are loosing income tax revenue.

I’d love a $30 minimum wage for all workers regardless of industry, but only with the stipulation that we have a maximum wage and a maximum level of wealth. Of course, that has to be federal (or at least state), otherwise everyone will just immediately move to the suburbs.
Similarly, the government SHOULD fund education, but not in the form of blank checks to universities that immediately raise the tuition.
