Maybe tomorrow ...

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040 the world that we all used to know is just a fading memory. The class system collapsed and everyone's needs are fully met no matter what. Work isn't mandatory for survival anymore. People have a lot of free time now to do what they always wanted and spend time with their loved ones. We have fully shifted to sustainable energy and are working on repairing the damage that has been done previously, fast fashion doesn't exist anymore and we are focusing on sustainability overall. Political participation is mandatory and people can vote from the comforter of their own home everywhere, this was we ensure true democracy and people are overall happier because the people in power are being put there by the majority. All drugs are legalized, that doesn't mean that people take them more it just ensures that people don't get to jail for the possession of it, also prison focuses on the rehabilitation and not further punishment of the convicts everywhere. Third world countries also arent a thing anymore because we share all resources and don't accumulate wealth anymore. Also, we are all vegan, this helped with the co2 problem and yearly saves unimaginable amounts of clean water.

Un posto in cui restare
In 2040 I would like the valley train to be frequent, even if only every two hours, and for on-call transport to cover the smaller villages, so that a 16-year-old boy can go to play sports or visit friends without the family having to organize for weeks. I would like fiber in every fraction, not as a promise but as a normal thing, because working from home here should be the obvious choice, not an exception to explain. I also wish the school wouldn't close. Classes with five children are a problem for those who organize the numbers, but for those who attend them they are a fortune: You learn differently, with the older ones helping the little ones and with the teachers who know each family. I imagine a mountain school that works with schools in other countries, with online twinning and real exchanges, and where Italian, German and English are spoken well, because languages are really needed here. And I wish young people had a way to do business without leaving. A cooperative that manages the forest and sells its wood in a sustainable way, a hostel run by those who grew up in the valley, a laboratory for the production of cheese or beer with the local raw material. Not everyone will have to become an entrepreneur, but those who want to try should find money, advice and someone to tell them they can do it. I don't know if that's gonna happen. But I know the question is not how to get young people back, but how to make sure they don't need to leave to have a full life. In 2040 I hope the answer is: There are things to do here, there are people to do them with, and someone will one day want to stay.
