Agreed that we should keep this to Disneyland specifically, or else it spirals into all the macro-economic trends that our Globalist leaders have created over the last 30 years with organizations like the Chamber of Commerce advocating open borders and flooding our country with unskilled and uneducated workers that depressed wages nationwide, the mass shipping of our manufacturing base overseas to Communist countries where the peasants now make our refrigerators, tires, TV sets and pajamas for pennies per hour, etc., etc.
Which is why I'd love to get some dollar figures from people. Pay rates from 40 years ago are a little sketchy, but I think it was
@Old Mouseketeer who said ride operators in the early 1980's were making $10 an hour. Adjusted for inflation that would be $30 per hour today. So let's say the $18 minimum wage for all Resort District businesses pass and that's the new starting point. Do ride operators start at $18, or do they automatically bump up to a $20 per hour starting rate, with healthy annual $1 raises so that a ride operator with 10 years of tenure is making $30 an hour?
And if a ride operator with a decade of tenure is making $30 an hour, what should Disneyland pay the skilled machinist maintaining roller coasters and Omnimovers who currently makes $22? Or what about the tenured and skilled electrician who currently makes $24 an hour? Or what about the pyrotechnic foreman with multiple licenses he paid for who makes $23 an hour? The computer software engineer with 4 years of college education who just started at a salary of $70,000, which is the equivalent of $30 per hour which is what the lady with a decade of tenure dispatching boats at Pirates of the Caribbean makes? What do you pay that software engineer then?
