Det kanske blev en framtid ändå.

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I am 76 years old and did not think I would be here yet, much because of health, but also because the future 2025 did not look worthy to even continue living in.
And then I still live in a very privileged country, very nice and with so much that actually works. By 2025, it was very dark.
But thanks to the fact that Europe and its virtually all countries became united and united, with retained individual sovereignty, on so many of the really important and big issues, we have become strong, and a power in itself, to be able to withstand other “major powers” in the world in order to both influence the maintenance of a just peace between all the countries of the world.
That no financial threat or threat of violence to get their personal wills shall occur. That no single country's military force should be allowed to intimidate someone else's sovereignty. NATO is both a blessing and a must, but the unified military strength and unification of the individual European countries is also something I see as a positive development over the years. That we in Europe have joined forces in research for climate and come very far in this, in collaboration with the rest of the world's countries. That we in Europe are at the forefront of AI, but also in collaboration. I see a strongly united Europe in collaboration with the rest of the world on the issue of most things. But above all, we in Europe are so strong in ourselves that we have the power to influence.
Immigration and integration laws and regulations have been strengthened and agreed in all European countries and are subject to strict conditions. Requirements for Swedish language knowledge here and self-sufficiency are a must. Laws on citizenship and easier faster deportations have become much stricter and tougher. Direct expulsion, deprivation of any citizenship and all its assets taken by the state is accepted in serious crimes. And the fight against domestic violence has with it gone down after all these years. In most of Europe's countries. We are also a good way to get a form of joint health care in Europe. To have an equivalent system within this as well as the cost of medicines, and an equivalent social security for all residents. The same applies to the care of the elderly and schools.
Our stronger Europe has made a stronger Sweden, my fine, fine homeland and made the future something more hopeful. If not for me who are old now, then for my children and their possible grandchildren.

Évolution au travail
I would like us to have spent a long time in the 4-day work week, that teleworking allows us to work from anywhere. That finally in France we recognize the pain that women can have during their cycle and that like many other countries we are entitled to one day per month of paid stoppage due to our sometimes unbearable pains. Let the world change positively. That there is a self-help day imposed paid but not worked in the office rather to help the elderly.

Freiheit, Recht und Ordnung ohne belogen, betrogen und entmündigt zu werden
Writing is not one of my core competencies and so I ask for leniency in advance. A better future I would like to see would be: In Europe, each Member State is responsible for its own activities. There would be a free basic order that prohibits any form of surveillance and restriction of opinion. Prohibits manipulative press and fake news accordingly and checks journalism for truthfulness and regulates it accordingly in the event of violations. Ideological behavior no longer exists, as it is punished as fraud. Free market economy should be possible without obstructive regulations. By this I mean that only regulations that have been tested for their usefulness and cost-effectiveness are still possible and such excesses as we have experienced in the last 40 years are no longer possible. Taxes can only be collected and used for national tasks. Further funds must be raised either through donations or as part of a referendum. Waste of taxpayers' money will be punished and politicians will be held accountable for their violations. The EU can only monitor the requirements of the Community, but cannot develop its own rules. The surveillance mania of the authorities has been reduced to a normal level and the fundamental rights, similar to our Basic Law of 1970, are protected again. Crime is fought and enforced together across the EU. There may be a single tax law and the influence of industry, NGO ´s, super-rich and other interest groups on politicians is strictly prohibited. Politics only makes politics in the interest of its citizens and is liable for misconduct. Taxes and levies collected may only be used for specific purposes and all decisions are examined by independent people. The self-interest of incumbents has come to an end and the citizen is once again at the forefront of all political decisions. Education then starts already in kindergarten and the children no longer have to learn outdated garbage, but are trained to learn. With the aim of creating a better world free of ideology, they have also learned to question everything we are able to independently come to the right results. Manipulation is a crime that is taken very seriously. In the event of a crisis, people can be welcomed and cared for in our country. In case of violations of the guest right, these persons must leave our economic area immediately. Every radical belief is banned and all assets confiscated. Subcultures are no longer possible in the EU, as they are also anti-democratic. In 2040, the highest goods in our EU are: free opinion, freedom of travel, no poverty, inviolability of personal rights, chemical-free food, education at the highest level for everyone, free choice of profession, a real democracy. Unfortunately, there will continue to be crimes and for known criminals there will be a perfect surveillance that proves another crime immediately. We have more and more computers and machines that have replaced the human worker. For these devices, an assessment must then be made of how many workers are replaced by this device and minus the equipment costs, the salary for the workers is then transferred to the tax office as a tax. This can then be used to pay the unemployed and incapacitated, families and pensioners. Smoked goods, drugs and other toxins have not been used and sold for years. All this could be achieved through education and without prohibitions. I'd think of a thousand more points, but that's so unsorted and completely confused, so I'm ending it now.

Il mondo pulito
A better future is ecological, full of health and without fear of getting sick. Land protection is at the heart of the progressive future it expects. A world without waste. But full of recycling, where nothing is worn and everything is used.
