A reminder that Mary Oliver also wrote this:

Appalling and dangerous piece on work and mental health in The Times today. It wrongly conflates freely chosen employment advisors in IAPT with a new DWP initiative that could sanction those who don’t comply, threatening their ability to eat and heat. Peak neoliberalism.
