The American Hotel and Lodging Association has launched a petition against the wage hike, already collecting over 140,000 signatures, which could lead to a referendum in 2026.

The article also touches on broader political trends,including the election of socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani in New York City,who supports similar wage increases,reflecting a growing trend that some commentators criticize as unsustainable or &#8220;absurd.&#8221; The piece ultimately suggests that the predicted fallout from these policies may lead to political blame-shifting from proponents of the increases to perceived industry &#8220;greed.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Posterity will marvel at the modern liberal&rsquo;s propensity to defend the most indefensible ideas.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, from those who brought us open borders and men in women&rsquo;s sports, now comes the $30\/hour minimum wage.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/media\/la-hotel-owners-sound-alarm-30-minimum-wage-threatens-crush-industry\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Business<\/a>, hotel owners in Los Angeles have rallied in opposition to an industry-killing municipal ordinance, passed by the city council, that will require hourly wage hikes of $2.50 every year until 2028, when the minimum wage for hotel workers will hit $30\/hour.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles will host eight <a href=\"https:\/\/losangelesfwc26.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Cup<\/a> matches in 2026, <a href=\"https:\/\/lasuperbowlhc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Super Bowl LXI<\/a> in 2027, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.olympics.com\/en\/olympic-games\/los-angeles-2028\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Summer Olympics<\/a> in 2028.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, to prevent the collapse of the city&rsquo;s hospitality industry, hotel owners have fought back.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\");
