Is it sucking up to unions, or maybe just plain stupidity?


The Center for Union Facts, an anti-union advocacy group, ran a full-page ad imploring the Los Angeles City Council to not adopt a $30 hotel minimum wage, citing state data showing the city lost 11,000 hotel jobs in 2024 despite a growing population. 
The $30 minimum wage would apply to hotels with 60 or more guest rooms, and Los Angeles International Airport concessionaires with more than 50 employees, with an additional health benefit payment - redeemable as cash wages for employees with separate healthcare - at $8.35 per hour for employees at covered hotels, and $5.95 per hour for covered LAX concessionaires. 
The idea that a government entity of any form in any community can impose wage levels on private industries should be scaring the living fuck ot of you, but then again - it is L.A., so who gives a fuck...

“Who funded this dumb ass shit?” one furious X commenter asked as photos of the statue spread online. Many argue it sends a grotesque message in a city battling gentrification and displacement. Local street artists were temporarily booted to make room for it. It was meant originally to go to New York's Union Square but was deemed too heavy for the site.

A federal court shot down most of President Trump’s wide-reaching tariffs Wednesday, ruling the commander in chief exceeded his authority when he plowed ahead with one of his signature policies.

The three-judge panel at the 'Court of International Trade' in Manhattan assailed Trump’s actions against other countries across the globe as “contrary to law” – despite the president claiming emergency powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act allowed him to impose the controversial duties.

Why is it that damn near every time I find something I really enjoy doing, some jerkoff somewhere has to do some kinda 'study' that is supposed to show that doing that thing I enjoy - in this case drinking every day - is somehow bad for me. Is it just me?

  6. Because of CanCon, here in Canada we get an overdose of Celine Dion, Michael Buble, Neil Young, Joanie Mitchell, the Guess Who and a whole mess of overrated performers. Sorry if you are occasionally tormented by them. Of course the Band was a gift.
