I'm sorry, but that sounds like and idealistic 'it'll all be okay, the Government will take care of me.'
You've taken an ideal, more money and benefits for less skilled, less valuable workers for social norms and placed that ideal above the reality of asking where this money is going to come from and what the consequences are going to be.
And the you've reconciled the prioritization of that ideal by expressing confidence that industry will adapt and normalize while ignoring the fact that it is attempting to do this with the Government fighting it tooth and nail.
More money for all, no matter the cost.
