A day in 2040 starts as usual. Breakfast and a shower with an electric heater. The trip to work in the capital is done by train, during which you can glance around and see hydrogen-powered vehicles becoming more common. Maglev technology is starting to take off and is said to be the next great revolution in transport, as it reduces the need for new rubber tires and reduces the friction in vehicles. You can go from one end of the country to the other by train in 30% less time than in 2025. AI has helped revolutionise all industries and made them more efficient, though at the cost of millions of jobs. Most cancer types can be treated and education levels are the highest ever. Religion is becoming less important in developed countries, but geopolitical tensions are at their highest since the Cold War.
Uncertainty is the key word at this time.

Älter werden im Dorf

I have grown older. Together with my partner, I fulfilled my dream of building another house - after all, there was still room in the garden of the old house! It's not any smaller than the old house, but the layout is better. We have moved into the upper apartment - the office in the basement is no longer needed since we retired from work. It now serves as an apartment when children and grandchildren come to visit. Our neighborhood is constantly changing. Separations and deaths bring change. The houses don't stay empty for long. It is very popular to live in the village. People still look out for each other here and living together works. There are lots of activities for young and old, and most people are keen to get involved in voluntary work. All in all, it's a good place to grow older.

retour à la souveraineté des Etats

that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.
