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 budúcnosť
"By 2040, we will have made society completely fossil-free. The countries of the world have finally realised what needs to be done and have taken responsibility. In Sweden, investments in fossil-free steel and cement have also led to changes in the way we build and develop cities and communities. Biodiversity in both urban and rural areas has been strengthened. Forests are being cared for and used sustainably. We continue to drive, but without emissions and with reduced impact on nature and people. But it is not entirely without problems. Traffic accidents, congestion, road wear and tear and more continue to be a burden. Health problems are only slowly improving. The joint action of the countries around the Baltic Sea is finally having an impact, and we look to the future with some confidence.

Lepší zítřky
It would certainly be better for the future for every country to live in peace, that is, without fighting, wars, violence. Just so that people are equally equal, I mean without hunger. Jobs for all ages. Of course the elderly should not work. People should retire earlier than 70. A suitable age range would be 55-58 for women and men.

Moderní Evropa jako lepší místo pro život všech
I would like the future if the EU would take more care and constantly increase the euro emission standards mainly for cars so that old wrecks like the Skoda Fabia from 2000 disappear from the roads. We also need a Europe where migration is dealt with more thoroughly and migrants are deported if they commit any crime. This is the only way to ensure Europe's security. Furthermore, the EU should take more care to ensure that EU countries introduce more and more digitisation and make it easier for people to work. It is also necessary for the EU to address the differences in wages between, for example, Germany and the Czech Republic.

Svět v míru
I would like to see peace around the world, or at least a reduction in the number of places where violence and weapons are used. For one thing, it devastates the landscape, but it also increases people's fear. We are human beings and we have a language and we can talk. It takes the joy out of life and people do things they would not otherwise do in a happy life. I think there is a lack of psychological and communication basics in schools, so many people don't know how to live happily.
