It would be a future in which would-be dictators are put to rest once and for all, in which people can be who they are, at least as long as they do not harm others. A world in which people listen to each other again instead of condemning each other for the smallest offenses. A world in which people focus on the important things, take a pragmatic view of the future, don't give populism a chance and let realism take over.

It is 2040, and healthcare has taken a giant leap forward. No more endless wait times, no more fragmentation of care between different agencies - everything has become more efficient, accessible and people-oriented. In this ideal future, hospitals, general practitioners and specialty care providers work under one roof or in seamless collaborative networks. Smart technology and data exchange allow patients to get to the right specialist immediately, without unnecessary referrals or long waiting times. AI-based triage systems ensure that care requests are assessed quickly and accurately, so that people immediately receive the care they need. In addition, prevention has become a key focus. People have access to personalized health programs supported by technology that helps them live healthy lives and identify conditions early. This not only eases the pressure on care, but also keeps people healthy longer. But best of all? Healthcare is still human. Despite all the technological advances, the relationship between caregiver and patient is central. Doctors and nurses have more time for personal attention thanks to more efficient processes, which ensures better care as well as a more pleasant working environment. The healthcare of 2040 will not only be faster and smarter, but above all more personalized. And that is exactly where we need to go.

All the countries of the world not only live together peacefully but have also joined forces to protect the earth and the climate. For example, they have jointly financed projects to reforest forests and to reforest and green barren landscapes anywhere in the world. Production is now only based on demand, not profit. Within the EU in particular, countries have once again put the welfare of their own country first. Illegal immigration, especially in Germany, has been stopped and foreign criminals have been returned to their home countries. In Germany, the AfD is the only party in power and has returned the country to its former strength. Christmas markets and public events are making a peaceful comeback. Victims of foreign criminals received compensation and the perpetrators received their just punishments.

In a Europe of 2040, we will be in a united community with a central government. The political parties will each have joined together to form a European party, and the parliament will be led by the Volt Party. The electrical energy required for industry, households and transportation will come from renewable sources. Electric cars will be charged inductively in a few seconds at special points.
