Some of best things I've heard about this game really show how much point A is behind the success of this game: from helping elderly ladies in a nursing home to enjoy the creative process once again to letting someone experience their parent's craft. It made the creative field of dressmaking accessible to those that wouldn't have considered it otherwise, and made it accessible once again to those that could no longer access it.

    In terms of their skillset? Probably not immediately (skills may deteriorate due to lack of use over time). In terms of what they will be doing as part of the job, and how they use their skillset? To a certain degree, I would say yes.

    That one hour window did me in and had to wait another 24. The option is nearly impossible to find, there is no notification when the timer has completed, and there is no indication that you only have an hour ahead of time. I think this qualifies as the option not existing for the average person, even when told about it.

    Buyer protection does seem to be a thing, though it relies on your PSP (Payment Service Provider) - e.g. your bank - to handle the dispute. [sources: article, payment hander, some info page]. It specifically expands upon iDEAL (what was essentially the presursor of wero in the Netherlands, which was essentially direct transfers) with buyer protection for e-commerce pruposes.

    To expand upon you: examples of such institutions or policies would be free healthcare, universal basic income, but also places like libraries. You could even call (financial) support for housing & children, as well as progressive taxes socialist - despite the system in which they exist being capitalist.

    The estimate is 16 to 42 million birds die each year from hitting glass. On the low end, each building (of which there are 15.5 million in Canada approximately [source]) on average one bird dies due to hitting glass per building. That is not quite in the realm of 'piles of birds around every low rise building', given that they do not occur all at once (it is an annual number after all), and the bodies do decompose, get eaten, or get cleaned up.
