Problem in berrypicking

We have a problem due to Russian attack against Ukraine. And I am not talking about military threat but berry picking.

In Finland we have considerable amounts of berry production. There is a good reason for it as our summer days are extremely long, which results in high amounts of taste-giving aroma in the berries. 

The problem arises from the fact that many berry growers have hired Ukrainians to work in the field during recent years. Now Ukrainians are not available due to the Russians, Finnish kids are not any more willing to search jobs from farms, and refugees and asylum seekers from developing countries rather live with social subsidies than spend their days by working for a salary.

Now the fear is that the excellent yield of strawberries cannot be picked in the short time frame available between their ripening and rotting. The question arising is: what will be the future of a society, where no one is willing to earn their living by somehow unpleasant work. 

Not youngsters, not unemployed or not immigrants. And taxpayers pay to all of them for doing nothing in the name of social security.
