It still is, specifically it's an unrealistically optimistic utopia. Relatively speaking.

What happened with that change to signage laws that was going to require tens of millions of dollars to update eg "Canadian Tire" to "Magasin Canadian Tire" and whatnot?

How does The Wind Rises fit into this?

Plot spoilersI've always been a bit puzzled at that one, given that the protagonist spends most of the storyline designing and building warplanes. He's apparently motivated purely by the love of flight, but consequences are never directly addressed, except for maybe at the end when he comments on how they all got destroyed. Is he wilfully oblivious? Is he on board with Japanese aggression? Is this a comment on the "just doing my job" people involved in any war effort?

For those experiencing the same confusion as myself: those are not sources for the orphan/survivor benefits story, they're possible reasons why the media might not be reporting the story.

What kind of comments would qualify as "unhelpful"?

I'm going to search for the beached Lookfar. If memory serves, it was abandoned on Selidor, just past the Dragons' Run
