What’s the problem? Just convert all of the commercial hotel properties to non-for-taxing NGO’s who offer affordable housing to recent arrivals. The other buildings can be converted to soccer fields. The new democrats LOVE soccer.
Wow! I haven’t heard the name EJ Korvette in forever! My mother loved that store! Along with Woodward & Lothrop, Hechts and Montgomery Ward.
Insanity!

My first commercial employment at $1.03 per hour was in the housewares department at E.J. Korvette. Later worked there in sporting goods and then in credit, refunds, and gift wrap. Some woman brought in a pair of sunglasses for a refund. I asked her if they were broken when she bought them. She got a floor walker/manager who told me to give her a refund, as the customer is always right! Those were the days my friend…
It’s not the job of government to mandate any wage paid by a private business. Minimum wage laws need to be scrapped.
I think it is ridiculous; that kind of minimum wage & hosting the Olympics after that horrendous fire. Best just tell the Olympic committee to do it somewhere else or forget it, although I hate to say forget it on account of all those who have trained so hard for it.
Very apprehensive about the '84 Olympics - congested freeways etc.
Didn't happen. The locals stayed home! Most of our business during that time was from out-of-state visitors and participants in The Games.
Can only imagine what hotels will be charging with payrolls so high.
Do employers still need to complete an I9 for each employee?
They just significantly reduced the timeline where all of LA will be a complete homeless shelter.
Frank, mine was $1.00 per hour at night processing the days transactions at a savings and loan! After 4 years I got to 2.00! There was a 10% bonus at Christmas even for the part timers plus a great Christmas party. Chubby Checker the twist was the rage then.

What it is is the death nell for hotels in LA, oh people may have no choice to speak of during the Olympics but who travelling on a vacation can budget an extra 70% for lodging in shitsville LA? The democrats are insane, everything they do “for the working man” results in less jobs for “the working man” and businesses collapsing from increased wages and associated costs. These communists have never run a business and when things inevitably go to hell the can’t understand where the tax income has gone.
These are the days of the $400 and $500 MOTEL rooms for major events. Maybe LA is trying for $1000.
LA is a far cry from that city now.
The “unintended consequence” (what Democrat/Communists are famous for) of this $38 minimum wage is to finish the complete destruction of LA that the Fauci Flu fell short on.
I don’t see the problem here. LA voters wanted this and they are going to get it. If they don’t like it, they can go somewhere else.
They’ll bring LA with them.
EJ Korvette’s was named that because the guys that owned were Korean War Veterans.
Their record album prices were a little bit higher that Two Guys, so I spent my meager earnings there instead.
Two Guys from Harrison was named that because when they first started undercutting appliance prices, their competitors referred to them as “those two S.O.B.s from Harrison”
