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!

In 2040 I hope to have a more democratic Europe, journalists who are freer to write what they think without any criticism since today there is (in my opinion) no such freedom and we are moving towards a "soft dictatorship." A free state where non-EU people are welcomed and not locked up in "reception centers" but are given an education and since there are abandoned cottages and land, the possibility to renovate these houses and give back to the land new cultures, and also help them in their countries so that the flow is less. I would like a state without economic inequality so that there are not very poor people, there has always been wealth and poverty but it is not as evident as it is today. If this happens I think our country can "rise again" from the evils that are there now and the people can live with peace of mind.

I hope that in 2040 there will be no shortage of doctors and no such long queues. I hope that all medicine in Lithuania will have improved. In 2040 it will be easier to live, the state will give money to its citizens, I think it will be easier for young families to buy a house, and there will be no shortage of places in kindergartens. There will be no need to have to save for a second pillar pension.

All the children would be warmly clothed and fed. All pupils would learn well and there would be no failing grades. All working people would earn enough to buy the food they want, and wear new clothes. Disabled people and pensioners would also have enough money to buy all the food they want, enough money to travel, and not have to be sad to see people in other countries.

Delusions of a chronically online liberal girliepop
People that aren’t white cis men would have equity and equal opportunities and hate crimes would be punished more seriously than regular crimes of the same seriousness. There would be less cars, more trains connecting europe, more rentable bikes, more trams and less noise pollution in bigger cities (metros). Food that is wasted from restraunts or school caffeterias would be given to people struggling to eat and there would be free healthcare and education for everyone.
