Like 2013?

On one of my early Uber trips, I had a driver who was an ex policeman. I mentioned my work with a suicide phone line service and he started telling me about his PTSD and how there was no mental health support for him and his colleagues back in the day.

It was typical of the meaningful conversations I found myself having with Uber drivers back then. Feels like growth led to commoditisation, and impersonality.

Now they slam door on your face

Does anyone know a hidden gem for dress shirts and suits? I haven’t found a good place that sells the clothes with the slim fit I like for cheap.
