Folks in the plant, the rest of us all owe you a lot of beer.

I hope they get a lot more than beer out of this. The article talks about an increase in pay, but to what degree, we don't know.

No, we owe them good working environments, high wages, good benefits, time off, relief from their mortgages and rents, health care, voting rights, access to education, etc.

I'm sure a few cases of beer would be nice as well, but let's remember that it's the workers who made all those masks and by taking care of those workers we've helped our society as a whole.

Why lead with "No"? Dude was just trying to say something nice, and you end up agreeing with him anyhow.

Not OP, but he's emphasizing that the increased compensation should be of a different kind rather than of a different degree (of the same kind, one may assume).

Because I didn't agree with him.
