By artificially boosting #wages, the #LACity #council is cutting its nose to spite its face.
Even one of the council members who voted for the hike still had issues with it.

(“I voted yes because to me this is about the workers, and it was always about the workers for me,” she said. “But I always wanted to be able to proudly say we compromised, and that we paid attention to all stakeholders. Because we really didn’t.”)
And that’s the problem with #politics
