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!

I live in 2040. People are happy, content, healthy. There is no mourning, no cats are not standing. Industries are closed. People are secure because they believe in each other, they help each other. Natural products are being used. Politicians are only here to listen to the people. Technology is here or only at the service of man. There are no rich people to rule the world. Food is home-grown, untreated with childish pesticides and artificial fertilisers. There is enough food for everyone. People live in harmony with nature. Nature and the world of life are being restored.

2028 was a terrible year: right-wing extremists took over the government. The Russians have destroyed and incorporated the Ukraine.Immense environmental damage from wars and pollution is devastating.And our politicians are just talking. Now we are in 2040. 2035 is the year a nuclear war has broken out, the world and humanity are on the ground and will take centuries to rise again. 2040 a world without weapons, politicians who advocate or conduct wars are treated like murderers.

Een betere gezondheidszorg, eindelijk wereldwijd.
By 2040, health care will have improved significantly. Most cancers and other life-threatening diseases and conditions will be much more treatable, not least because their detection will be much earlier. In fact, all citizens will not only receive a complete health check every year, but will also carry implants to measure crucial values - if their health demands it. AI systems read those values and immediately sound the alarm when warranted. Following breakthroughs with stem cell treatments, donor organs are widely available. Giant strides have also been made in the field of artificial body parts. Because rejuvenation programs replace old and diseased cells with new ones, more people are reaching old age - and in good health, too. By Global Action 2036, these health care breakthroughs have literally spread around the world. Finally.

I want to live in a future where the damage caused by humanity on the planet is assessed and actually done about it. If we have to, we recycle the things we bought from our parents and grandparents and not the things that would be very damaging to the earth, like making soap instead of using shower gel, we pickle our own cabbage. Stricter rules for clothing brands, that they have to take back worn-out clothes, and how often they can release collections, e.g. 2 times a year. The other thing is stricter control of the policy. Unfortunately, my experience tells me that I am disappointed. I can't really trust the politicians of today. I cannot have any confidence in them. If they do anything, there should be sanctions. Because unfortunately the little man is now more regulated than a politician. Respect for women: a woman, if she has children, runs a household, serves her husband. What I have listed is not enough. But they understand things too. They know a lot. Women should also be paid similar salaries to our male counterparts, with fewer demeaning gestures towards us, just because they are the generally called weaker sex. Then I would feel at ease in 2040.
