"#Europe's nightmare is here: They have to fight #Putin without the U.S. - #TheJapanTimes"
- #Trump says it's to avoid #WWIII, but it's allowing to start it in the way a lot like #WWII by allowing imperial nations, #USA included, invading the others. Many countries will fall before nuclear-powers. This is what #MAGA and its sympathizers wanted, I suppose. If not, they are now learning electing a moron has unintended consequences. Either way, shameful.

Amid climate efforts, will net-zero emissions be enough?

🇯🇵 El Ministerio de Comercio de #Japón aseguró, en 2019 que, para 2025, más de 630.000 negocios rentables echarían el cierre por no encontrar quien los dirigiera tras la jubilación de sus dueños, algo que costaría a la economía 165.000 millones de dólares y la destrucción de 6,5 millones de empleos.

Sobre este tema, #TheJapanTimes ha sacado un interesante reportaje, en inglés, acerca de la vida, los sueños y el futuro en #Mombetsu, en la isla de #Hokkaido.
