Mirror Discovered To Be 'Unsafe Space' For 78% Of Citizens
Pilot program covers all reflective surfaces in fabric until further notice.
By Wellness Bureau

The fabric, sourced ethically from a single overpriced supplier, is intended to reduce the burden of self-recognition during commute hours.
Officials note that windows, polished elevator doors, and 'that one shiny tile in the lobby' are also under review for similar treatment.
