Here are the most intriguing numbers in the left-wing Los Angeles City Council’s latest hammer-handed attempt to make themselves feel better:
Loosely, they commissioned three studies (the boys don’t count well) to determine the impact of raising the hourly minimum wage at select hotels to $15.37.
This, for the least educated among us who tuck pillows into pillow cases for a living, and still will be tucking pillows into pillow cases 20 years from this afternoon.
Given the Council’s vague guidelines (a left-wing specialty), the analysts concluded that between 5,300 and 13,500 workers will be affected by the new law that will take effect on July 1.
Condensed into succinctness, nobody on or off the Council has any idea.
This is an apt description of the daily motives, the ambiguous mental meanderings, of our dear friends Herb Wesson, Curren Price and 10 other non-thinkers. All are uncomplicated, sycophantic tools of the crude minds steering labor unions in this town.
The 12 Council cheerleaders for $15.37 an hour found it too taxing for their untrained, fog-shrouded minds to defend their outrageous intervention in their own words. Not one uttered an original thought. They listened to hoteliers object they will be forced into layoffs and sniffed, an instinct of leftists.
Seven years ago when a different set of Councilmen went similarly berserk, 10 percent of affected workers were laid off. Odds are 10 percent or more will lose their jobs this time, too.
An executive of the Beverly Garland hotel in North Hollywood said he will be forced to drop 60 of his 200 employees.
Hey, baby, who cares? Twelve Councilpersons feel better about themselves. That always is the goal.
The Good Guys
Hooray for Bernard Parks, Paul Krekorian and Mitchell Englander, three brave men who stood alone against the purely emotion-based doodling of their irrational, blank-minded colleagues. All left-wing thinking is entrenched in emotions – their own.
