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!

Happy Life
AI should be very well regulated so that it does not become dangerous for humans. Regarding human resources policies, these must be focused on providing jobs that ensure a high standard of living, the economy to operate at low costs, and medicine to be minimally invasive.

El futuro que deseo para todos
I imagine living in a small city in a rural and natural environment, leading a simple life enjoying a peaceful retirement, has managed to reverse housing problems because there is no real estate speculation to take over the administration of the construction and management of the real estate park intended for society. Education is public, compulsory and free including university studies, health is public, free and universal, taxes are paid according to income, and there is a universal guaranteed income. People have full freedom of movement between countries and there are no obstacles to immigration.

Gaišās vecumdienas
Given that I will be retired soon, I hope that I will be able to enjoy my old age peacefully. That there will be enough people in Latvia to get my old-age pension. I hope I could live climate neutrally, the House would be at least passive, or if it were still an apartment in the city, then in a thoroughly insulated house. I hope I can afford to buy and use an electric car by charging it from solar batteries right there in my house. Ideally, I have one car and kids on each electric car as well. I will definitely continue to sort the waste. I assume that it will be possible to separate the combustible lightweight packaging from the recyclable packaging. Also, the deposit system will hopefully be wider, adding more items to the current ones. And it would be good if every time you arrive to hand over the packaging, it would be possible to hand it over. I will probably continue to move around the city with public transport, which will hopefully be highly electric. I hope that most food will not be transported far away. Things that are available on site are better not to be transported far away. What is not available on site can be transported, but everything available on site will not be transported far away. Wind and solar energy will also be more widely available.

Diseases are defeated , everyone lives in good health, accidents are rare and well cared for. Transport does not cause pollution thanks to new technologies. The world is in harmony with nature. Education is ongoing.
