The fetishisation of "hard work" across the political spectrum, with all parties reflexively using such thought-terminating cliches as "hard-working people" and "hard-working families" reduces people to commodities. Why should work be hard? Why should we make life harder than it has to be?
Rather than praise hard work, we should use our resources and skills to make work, and life, easier. Hard work should be seen as a problem to be solved.
