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!

Jutro 2040
The sun was just rising over Paris, or the castle had been awake for several Saturdays. People were quietly shaking floating capsules, and pedestrian zones were covered with intelligent pavements that bought energy from the stride of the proles. It was the 10th of March 2040, and Europe had become a continent of sustainability and technological harmony. I woke up in my home in Amsterdam, where the walls were changing the struggle for my position. Jutarnju kavu pripremila mi je kućna AI asistentica Mira, koja je već znala da chcesz dupli espresso. At the business, in the renewable energy laboratory, we were working on a new solar power system that could provide security for even the smallest rural communities.I travelled to Brussels for the European Summit on the Hyperloop superfast train. Since fossil-fuel aircraft have been banned, such journeys have become faster, cleaner and more affordable. The meeting was devoted to the new law on the rights of humanoid robots - an issue that was as important as people's rights.While I was in the kitchen in the evening, I looked at the hologram messages. The front page celebrated a new development: Europe has become the first continent with a plunging circular economy, where nothing is lost but everything is regained. I thought: maybe the future is not a dystopia after all, but a world that we have built together - a world where science, ecology and humanity go hand in hand.

Бъдеще за здрава и чиста Европа
Hello future 2040. I dream of a better future for us and our children! The biggest problem of the future remains the health of people, as well as the health of nature and the planet as a whole!!! Unfortunately today we live in a very tense, dynamic and fast moving world , where technology has advanced to huge degrees. And will develop and advance more and more, which, however, plays a detrimental role on humanity and nature!!! In this world of advanced technology, unfortunately humans are becoming sicker and sicker !!! More and more babies are born disabled and young people and children suffer from diseases atypical for their age!! My dream for the future is a better world , where people can eat and live healthier. To have less stress, to have more time for rest and relaxation, to have no extreme poor and homeless! People's incomes to be decent and fair!! The world and Europe in particular need clean nature and peaceful and happy people!!! I dream that by 2040 this will happen at least 50%!!!...

Arbejdsvilkår
I want everyone who wants to work to have the opportunity to do so under good and safe conditions both in terms of working environment and flexible working hours. The pay must be equal for everyone for equal work. It must be possible to stop working in the labor market so that there is time to enjoy retirement.

По-добър свят с участието на нас!
Hello, For me the future will be better when it is for everyone. Equality, solidarity and dreams come true. A united Europe without violence and poverty. For this to happen we need all people to realise the qualities that are in us but we do not use. All human virtues must be embedded and promoted in the school system for this to happen. The better we are, the better world we will attend. I hope this message reaches as many people as possible! I am FOR it!
