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!

The future I imagine would be one without foreign bodies in our country. Where criminal "travellers" are immediately expelled. Where work-shy people do not receive social benefits, pensioners are not fed breadcrumbs. Politicians are finally there for the people and not in their own pockets. Where politicians can be held accountable for their mistakes and have a salary like the average citizen. At last there is peace because all weapons have been destroyed. Where the Brussels bureaucracy has nothing more to say and we in our country decide for ourselves on issues that are important to us. Men and women earn the same salary for the same work. The absurdly high managerial salaries are reduced to a reasonable level. The ugly concrete castles are no longer being built. Every person, every family can afford a home, because the work of the "little man" is more appreciated and better paid. We drive diesel cars to curb the exploitation of rare earths and child labour in this regard. Nature has partially reclaimed its territory. The greatest thing, however, is that at last it is no longer envy and no longer a dispute, because people are all equal.

My imaginary future, less poverty no one has to suffer from hunger, all on the same level, no politicians who warm their chairs without doing anything more democracy more equality, it must no longer exist that people can not care because it costs too much... My Imaginary Future

Finally, we have reversed the trend! Global temperature rise has plateaued and we can slowly work towards a reduction. Melting of our land ice sheets has stopped. By cleaning the ocean of plastic pollution, fish stocks have recovered and we can enjoy the food of the sea without risking its regeneration. Organic farming of fruit, vegetables and cereals has taken off worldwide. The efforts of rich countries in drought-prone areas of Africa have enabled us to revive farming in old agricultural landscapes. Energy development has achieved new successes and reduced our dependence on coal, gas and nuclear power. New methods of renewable energy sources and efficiency improvements have paid off.
