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!

Betonski ljudi
Godina je 2040., zelenilo je postalo mit. Vidjeti stablo je kao osvojiti na lutriji. Neku kažu da će ovim tempom stabla postati samo mit. Kao da ne znaju da bez njih nema ni nas. Okružuje nas beton sa svih strana, od pločnika po kojem hodamo do kuća u kojima živimo. Izgradnja je uzela maha, svaka zelene površina postala je betonski blok. Samo gradi, prodaj, zaradi. Ni dječiji parkovi više nisu od prirodnih materijala, samo platika,metal i apsorbirajuća guma. Postali smo betonski ljudi.

Europa de mâine
Europe will still have a number of operational and strategic difficulties due to Russia's attempts to impose and exert its influence in the region. However, the defining principles of democracy and freedom of choice will manage to remain at the forefront by diminishing the effects of fake news, falsifying reality and will largely succeed in combating extremism. The new generations will be harder to manipulate, they will easily realize the false and harmful intentions of far-right and far-left organizations. Europe will also have good strategic relations with the US and other democratic states outside Europe. In addition, decision-makers in Europe will be able to successfully meet a large part of the 2030 agenda targets.

I would like to live in a future where digital technology is not given as much emphasis as it is currently being pushed. I want society to focus on general health, especially mental health, which is increasingly neglected. I would also like to see people showing togetherness with each other, as was once the case, and not polarising society by electing MPs or parties with different views and values.
