| Apple in your hand |
If you've been watching NZTV, you may have seen there could be a crisis in the apple-picking industry resulting in good apples rotting on the ground due to a shortage of apple pickers. There are too few seasonal workers from the Pacific Islanders due to Covid and apparently, too few Kiwis are prepared to work for the low wages.
Many people may say that's the growers' problem, not mine. These rural types seem to think we owe them something. In the good years growers and farmers keep the money to themselves and in bad years they call out for help.
But I wonder.
