What if I hire a dozen people to randomly, individually go and pick all the fruit and bring it to me, and then I make a profit reselling what they collect?
Then you’re an asshole
Lotta them exist. Always have and always will. This is how you begin the "have and have not" groups.
Well duh. Kind of missing the point though.
this is literally a legitimate business in the nordic forests thanks to the right to roam, people will hire (generally thai people) to go out into the forests and harvest berries and mushrooms on an industrial scale (by hand though) and then sell it to grocery stores or directly to people on the street..
and surprise surprise, i have never seen anyone complain about this. Rather people gladly pay their pretty cheap prices rather than going out and picking it themselves, and there's more than enough available out in the forest that everyone can find some for theirselves if they want.
hell the law specifically gives you a tax break for selling fruits and berries you've personally picked, you can earn something like 25'000 SEK per year that way without needing to pay any tax on it.
This isn't a fucking problem.
