MY PRESENT, YOUR FUTURE

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Why can we live the way we do?
Why can we go to the supermarket and buy food?
Why can we go to the shopping center and buy clothes?
Why can we turn on the water and have clean water, turn on the light and have electricity in our homes?
Why can we know what is someone doing thousands of miles away?
Why? And at what cost?
Every action comes with a price, and every decision has consequences.
We go to school, high school, and college to study...But does it make sense?
We study for a future we won't have.
We work for a retirement that will not come.
We have dreams that will never become true.
Where is the matter in thinking about the future and stopping living the present? Do whatever you feel you must do. Stop thinking about an uncertain future. Because climate change is just around the corner. It's a storm that is coming: we see the clouds, we notice the wind and the sun is starting to hide. Its effects are real.
Is there still a chance of a future? Of a future in which we can go swimming in the sea and see fish and turtles and dolphins. A future in which cars are not all that we see. We see mountains, trees, animals, snow, and rain. We hear the birds singing and the waves breaking. There is a society in which everyone helps everyone, in which there is no place for racial, religious, or gender discrimination. A society in which social media does not have such a big role and people spend more time doing real things and not in front of a screen. Propitiating volunteering, organizing cultural activities, and raising awareness among the youth are some small steps for this future.
Let our voices be heard and our biggest dreams become true. Be the change you wanna be.

Utopia kommt ein Stück näher
I would like to see the conflict between economy and ecology overcome by 2040. Companies will no longer have to strive for extreme profit, but will be rewarded for sustainable production. In addition, products produced in this way are subsidized by the state so that almost everyone can buy them. The neo-liberal economic ideas have finally been consigned to the dustbin and no one would think of following the capitalist ideas any more. In addition, the social systems have been harmonized so that the major gaps have been closed and no one has to work beyond the age of 65. The professional civil service has been abolished and only a few essential professions (police, fire department, judiciary) still have civil servants in the necessary positions. Private health insurance has been abolished and transferred to the statutory system so that all employees pay equally into the social security system and stability is guaranteed. Parliaments have shrunk to reasonable sizes (Bundestag 301 members, the rest staggered according to population up to a maximum of 49) and the associated bureaucracy has also shrunk. The money could be used for sensible projects to reduce legal regulations, so that digitalization could also be decisively advanced.

wish mail it is important to me to live in peace and to secure the earth for all descendants for a peaceful and livable environment.in addition, the preservation of animal species to promote real selection.furthermore, the school must be designed in such a way that everyone can benefit from it.everyone needs the most important basics and not things that nobody needs.the same applies to the health system, where a reform is absolutely necessary so that everyone can find a family doctor and does not fall out.taxes should be used sensibly and those who squander taxes should also pay for them.the idea that money is spent on pointless things and nobody is responsible is completely different for the normal employee.mistakes can happen,but you should also stand by them and not squander other people's money without punishment.it is also very important that all those who have a leading position are also trained for it.at the moment ministers are being put from one position to another in politics who actually have no idea about it.people should live well and happily.the gap between rich and poor must change and not become even wider.the pension should also be enough for pensioners to live on.everyone should pay taxes without restriction up to a certain amount.everyone should be treated equally and that welds the people together because it conveys real justice.

Ma vision de 2040
At the dawn of 2040, so much has changed! Selective sorting has taken root, there's no more food wastage thanks to the cost circuit, we consume more local produce, and producers are able to make a living from their activities. We don't judge different people, we try to understand them, we're more tolerant and benevolent towards others, even if there are still a few recalcitrants.

Utopie
Europe will finally be a united state like the USA, with the same rules, the same wages, the same prices, true uniformity. The army will also be European, and will defend any European country under attack. Movement between countries will be fluid, but much stricter for non-European countries. There will be a truly European economy, with each country retaining its strengths, but without the competition and disparity of today. There will be a real sharing of technological and scientific knowledge. We'll be much more autonomous and therefore stronger. Together, we'll develop an ecological policy that's also more people-oriented.
