In the year 2040 nobody drives combustion cars anymore. Public transport has improved a lot in recent years, now all vehicles are electric and eco-sustainable, there are many connections between cities and countries and a great time availability. Nobody has a private car because it is not practical, when in 5 minutes you have available a transport that takes you to your destination quickly, efficiently and for free! Renewable energies have become the standard. Thanks to this and other changes, climate change has been slowed down. Companies have substantially reduced their emissions of harmful gases, including CO2, and have stopped using non-renewable packaging in their products. Thousands of species have been saved worldwide, especially marine species, and the seas have been repopulated. In the year 2040, society's main concern is not its future, but what it is going to do on the weekend with all its free time, since it now only works from Monday to Thursday. What I have described is not a possible future right now, but it could be if politicians take the right measures, it just needs the will to change. The future of Europe is the future of all of us, it is the future of the planet.

The EU collapsed. NATO ceased to exist. The trial of liberal leaders who had destroyed the EU economy
The EU collapsed, with only a few Old World countries remaining. NATO ceased to exist. Parties concerned about national security and the self-identity of their countries came to power. The trial of liberal leaders who had destroyed the EU economy to please transnational corporations took place. Many Eastern European countries found the strength to recognize the sanctions against the Russian Federation as destructive for them. And so they made peace with Russia, and many even sent requests to join the Eurasian Union. After the trial of liberal politicians of the 1920s, Germany began to recover economically. The Nord Stream gas pipelines were restored. Under the leadership of Germany and France, the creation of the European Armed Forces began. The construction of the New Silk Road was completed. Some countries returned to the idea of

People in government must prove that they have a basic knowledge of their position and are not appointed according to party affiliation. Laws that are passed must also be applied and not become ineffective with thousands of exceptions. As far as transport is concerned, it would be good if there were still a certain individual share, but for the most part via a well-developed public network that also takes into account all so-called marginalized groups (the elderly, the disabled, the financially disadvantaged).

Dette vil næppe være min fremtid, men ...
For anything to get better, we have to start small. That means everything starts with yourself, with taking responsibility for your life, living a decent, responsible and considerate life in all respects. If this happens, it will also mean that the people elected to political responsibility will be able to fulfill their duties for the benefit of all people and all aspects of society. And there is nowhere, in my opinion, where change and improvement is more needed than in this area if democracy is to survive

Realistische Dystopie
In 2050, the earth will not be a better place than it is today. People will still be fighting senseless wars and hatred will not have been overcome in either the real or the virtual world. Resources will become scarcer in some areas, but intensive research has found ways to largely compensate for this. The division of the world has also changed. Countries that used to play a leading role in the economy and politics have, in some cases, become insignificant players on the brink of regression from industrialized to emerging economies as a result of bad decisions by egomaniacal politicians. Neither their energy supply nor the shortage of skilled workers can be brought under control. Religious beliefs will play a greater role and minorities will often dictate to majorities how they should behave. Woke-ness will largely eradicate feminism, so that everything women have fought hard for for decades will dissolve into nothing. We are abolishing ourselves, human dignity, human rights and democracy because we make everything equally bad and insignificant out of a misunderstood understanding of tolerance. Only the stupidity of humans will not die out, but will become even greater, while the AI secretly laughs and is happy not to be homo "sapiens".
