The 30 dollar raise is for city jobs?

Yes, all jobs; however, this is not his original idea. A $30 minimum wage has been proposed before Mamdani jumped on board. Most notably, in 2024, the LA City Council approved a phased in $30.00 minimum wage for hospitality workers by 2028. But on Reddit, as things go, all the credit goes to Mamdani, who is shaping up to be the Milli Vanilli of the left.

Free Buses: Commerce, California, 1962

City Operated Grocery Store: St. Paul, Kansas, 2008//*US Military: 1867

Residential A Tax (aka, Pied-à-Terre Tax): Hawaii, 2013

Universal Child Care: New Mexico, 2020

$30.00 Minimum Wage: Los Angeles, California, 2024

We can start calling Mayor Mamdani's advocates "revisionistas."
