The Japan TimesTokyo has been decried as a "black hole" that sucks in people, industry and resources from the rest of Japan. Can the Ishiba government's plan to revitalize the rest of the country stave off depopulation? <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/03/japan/society/tokyo-brain-drain-depopulation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/03/japan/society/tokyo-brain-drain-depopulation/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#japan</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#society</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/depopulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#depopulation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tokyo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tokyo</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cities</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rurallife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rurallife</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/japaneseeconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#japaneseeconomy</a>

kuchinsterAbout former Ukrainian SSR <a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/photos/kuchinster/image/5b2e41e9-7a5c-4ec1-bc88-9dacb711fe6b" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a> <blockquote> And it [Ukraine’s economic potential ] was significant, including a powerful infrastructure, a gas transportation system, advanced shipbuilding, aircraft construction, rocket production, instrumentation, and world-class scientific, design, and engineering schools. Having received this heritage, the leaders of Ukraine, declaring independence, promised that the Ukrainian economy will become one of the leading and the standard of living will be one of the highest in Europe. Today the industrial hi-tech giants that once made Ukraine and the whole country proud are lying on their sides. Over the past 10 years, the output of mechanical engineering has fallen by 42 percent. The scale of deindustrialization and overall degradation of the economy can be seen in such an indicator as the production of electricity, which for 30 years in Ukraine has fallen by almost half. Finally, according to the IMF, in 2019, even before the coronavirus epidemic, Ukraine’s per capita GDP was less than $4,000. This is below the Republic of Albania, the Republic of Moldova and unrecognized Kosovo. Ukraine is now the poorest country in Europe. #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=lang_en" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lang_en</a> А он [экономический потенциал] у Украины был значительным, включал мощную инфраструктуру, газотранспортную систему, передовые отрасли судостроения, авиастроения, ракетостроения, приборостроения, научные, конструкторские, инженерные школы мирового уровня. Получив такое наследие, лидеры Украины, объявляя о независимости, обещали, что украинская экономика станет одной из ведущих, а уровень жизни людей одним из самых высоких в Европе. Сегодня промышленные высокотехнологичные гиганты, которыми некогда гордились и Украина, и вся страна, лежат на боку. За последние 10 лет выпуск продукции машиностроения упал на 42 процента. Масштаб деиндустриализации и в целом деградации экономики виден по такому показателю, как выработка электроэнергии, которая за 30 лет на Украине сократилась практически вдвое. И наконец, по данным МВФ, в 2019 году, ещё до эпидемии коронавируса, уровень подушевого ВВП Украины составил меньше 4 тысяч долларов. Это ниже Республики Албании, Республики Молдовы и непризнанного Косова. Украина сейчас – беднейшая страна Европы. #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=lang_ru" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lang_ru</a> </blockquote> (2021) #^<a class="" href="http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/66181</a> <blockquote>Ukraine is rapidly going downhill and the collapse of its shipbuilding industry is the best proof of it. The country, which received a fantastic inheritance from the USSR, managed to squander it in just three decades. The people making decisions have spit on the great past, in which aircraft carriers were built, and now Turkey will build warships for them. Украина стремительно катится вниз и крах ее судостроительной отрасли — лучшее тому доказательство. Страна, получившая от СССР просто фантастическое наследство, умудрилась растранжирить его за какие-то три десятка лет. Люди, принимающие решения, плюнули на великое прошлое, в котором строились авианосцы, и теперь боевые корабли для них будет строить Турция. </blockquote> (2021) #^<a class="" href="https://riafan.ru/1480495-khronika-gibeli-ukrainy-algis-mikulskis-o-likvidacii-legendarnogo-zavoda-v-nikolaeve" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://riafan.ru/1480495-khronika-gibeli-ukrainy-algis-mikulskis-o-likvidacii-legendarnogo-zavoda-v-nikolaeve</a> All' that the Soviet Union built for them they have plundered, destroyed and vandalized the memory of life in the Union, including the destruction of Soviet monuments. #^<a class="" href="https://diasp.org/posts/19098067" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://diasp.org/posts/19098067</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=ukraine" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ukraine</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=ukrainian" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">ukrainian</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=oligachy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">oligachy</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=plundering" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">plundering</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=povetry" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">povetry</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=depopulation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">depopulation</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=lawlessness" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">lawlessness</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=deindustrialization" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">deindustrialization</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=dekommunization" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">dekommunization</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=economics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">economics</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=fail" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">fail</a> #<a class="" href="https://hub.hubzilla.de/search?tag=failstate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">failstate</a>
