Europa 2050: Sopravvivere un Altro Giorno

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I wake up with the usual burning in my throat. The air here in Milan is unbreathable, full of fine dust. The window is closed, but the smell of burnt plastic still manages to filter through. It has not rained as it used to for years, and when it does, the water is acidic.

I take the filter mask and go down to the street. There are no more electric buses or public bicycles: After the 2038 energy crisis, public transport collapsed and only those who can afford the black market for fuel still drive. Through the city between abandoned buildings and advertising screens that broadcast propaganda. Since the European Union crumbled, trade wars between the new micro-nations have continued.

I arrive at the office, a semi-empty skyscraper. Much of the work is now automated, and those who remain cling desperately to a measly salary. We all know that the future will not improve, but no one has the strength to fight anymore.

It is 7:30 a.m. the awakening of the AI comes to give me the weather, and also the state of traffic in the aerobuses. I will prepare and reach the station where I will find the regulars who live in the same community island. This weekend if the weather permits, I will be able to spend two days away from the city in the protected nature.I am an average manager in a company specializing in agronomy, we manage breeders and growers who work in very well equipped farms. The world lives in peace and personal spirituality has replaced false religions. Politics too is curtailed and everything is run by assemblies of sages aided by AI. There is no longer a dictatorial Europe and everything is decided at the local level by the sages who change every three years. All the lies of the old elites were exposed and the protagonists were heavily punished. The drug has been almost completely eradicated and specialized recreation centers offer even stronger but safe and addiction-free sensations. The education of children is the subject of great attention and many harmful subjects are no longer taught. The death penalty has been reinstated for serious crimes, many judgments are rendered by AI and confirmed by sages.

Ukraine's war and Trump's government have awakened the Europeans. Ukraine was forced to make peace, NATO was prevented by the US, and it was admitted to the EC. The EC has set up a joint army, some of which is based in Ukraine. The bureaucracy has been radically simplified, applications must be completed after 6 months at the latest. Britain is back in the EC. Council of Europe decisions need 60 percent approval. The blockade of individual states no longer exists.

It would be nice if in 2040 viruses such as HIV and annoying pestilences such as cancer were to be considered eradicated. It would be nice if you could already determine at birth whether the child has serious diseases to expect, which you can then immediately eradicate. It would be nice if inflation could be reduced to a minimum. It would be nice if religions no longer matter. Because there is religion. Wars that can be prevented.

The Eu will dissilve. USA, Russia and China come to maybe not ideal, but still mutuallí acceteble agreement where Euope will have no choice at all except to adjust to the new World order. They will have to nomalise their reletionship with everyone. All those who won't comply, will be exiles, as simple as that. No Brussels dictate any more. National goverments will prevail. No LGBT, only conservative approach.
