Family first

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 I will have a 19, a 24 and 26 year old. I hope that we are able to stay close as a family. We would be able to live in close proximity with each other so I can help my children start their own lives. House prices are more reasonable so they don't have to move far away. I can see them often, child mind my grandchildren and travel with them. I don't want my children to be swamped with debt from huge mortgages, I want them to be able to continue their careers after having children and not have to give up work because of lack of affordable childcare. I us to able to travel together both locally and on ferry to France and UK without it being cheaper to get a flight to Spain for a week than stay locally for a weekend. I want our local government to put people first, building communities instead of just houses. I want my children not to have to worry about going to the doctors because it's too expensive or where will their children go to school because there isn't enough spaces for the amount of houses built. I want my children to be happy and to be able to make memories with them. I want my future to be family!

Mobility has changed fundamentally. Nobody owns a car. There are small airplanes for everyone that fly well over 5 Mach and are powered by green electricity. Energy is only generated naturally. There is no more combustion, not even in houses and apartments for heating. We all live longer, the air is better, the food is better anyway. This rapid mobility means that humanity is growing together even faster. We are constantly in the most amazing places with the most amazing people. Hate and wars no longer exist either.

I wake up on a warm, sunny morning. I go down for breakfast and turn on the television. I begin to listen and feel that the climate in the world has improved, that glaciers have resumed to form and that new technologies are allowing to cultivate vast desert areas allowing to improve the lifestyle of many populations. The air has returned breathable across the globe and that although slowly closing the hole in the ozone. The seas have returned to repopulate with fish and that the collection of plastic abandoned in the past is proceeding quickly

Ritorno dalla Brexit
Sicuramente più sostenibile, con le nuove tecnologie sempre più sviluppate e soprattutto con una pace sociale derivata dal rilancio dell'economia veicolato dal reddito universale europeo. Utopistico? Forse. Così come lo è l'idea di un Europa unita che non ho mai abbandonato, e che immagino anche col ripensamento dei britannici

It is the year 2040, and the whole world is at peace. At last all wars are over, people no longer fear for their safety. Because not only that there is peace everywhere, there are also no robberies, thefts and gang fights. All countries have united to fight for the future of the earth. Everyone is making sure that future generations live well, that climate change does not make life more difficult. I hope it will be so. that people understand that everyone is responsible for making sure that our planet resists the adverse changes that are destroying it as long as possible.
