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!

Lepšia spoločnosť
I would like there to be no economic disparities between the nations of Europe. That a citizen of Slovakia would have the same security as a citizen of Austria or France. That all citizens of Europe should feel that they are in the same state with the same rights and obligations. That we return to Christian values, tolerance of other faiths, without subjugating each other. A future where nonsense like the green deal will not be tolerated unless it is scientifically based, where unbiased, unbribed scientific capacity will comment on the issues. Where other orientations will be tolerated but not recognized and standardized.

Bohatá a prosperujúca budúcnosť
I would like to have my own video game development company that will thrive. I would like to pay off all my debts and live a free life. I would like to find a wife and have a family and travel the world. I would like Eu to change and the people who run it today to go into oblivion because everything they do is against the countries themselves. I would like the European Union to prosper, but today, under the influence of people like Ursula von der Leyen and Klaus Schwab, the whole EU is going to the dogs. I would like the EU to stop helping Ukraine, which does not deserve it at all, and to look after its own business. I would also like it to stop pointlessly pushing various so-called 'immigrants' who are actually trash in their own country and have come to hurt us and destroy ours since they were expelled from their own countries.

Zamalo utopija
In the year 2040, it would be useful to bring back a common understanding and belief among people.Neighbours will again socialize and talk and help each other as they never did before in the age of technology (mobiles and other gadgets).Children are playing in the streets.There are lots of new roads by 2025 and there is more greenery and less concrete.People are starting to appreciate real life and are more aware of nature and spiritual health.Traffic in the city is reduced, there are fewer cars and more pedestrian and bicycle zones.Children are safe.Terrorism is no longer a problem.We are all working to eradicate evil in all its forms.The citizens of the world are working to improve their local communities.The governments of the world are listening to their citizens and are making sure that they have enough to eat and to spend the night wandering around.

comodita'?????
Now I don't have to stand in lines at the counters, argue with people in the offices or stand in the checkout line waiting for slow and boring people. Now I take my tablet and the whole world enters my house! Even waiting at the doctor's office is eliminated. The TV shows me what I need by connecting me to an app and a kind female operator created with Artificial Intelligence gives me the answers to any of my questions. My distant grandchildren and children I see with a virtual reality viewer and even when they are unavailable they become present with the technology-delayed visit. How convenient ..........Forse........And where is the human contact? I want to go back, to the waiting rooms, to the line at the counters, to the little neighborhood store, I want to breathe people, watch the rain, listen to the wind. And put my hand in the hand of my loved ones. Dear Future, you are needed but so sad.
