Le retour des 30 glorieuses ?
It's a sunny day of a hot summer. We have finally found a solution to the problem of global warming. In a relaxed climate where the economy has already recovered in recent years after a dark period, unemployment is at its lowest and so is the borrowing rate.

Welt und Gesellschaft im Einklang
In 2050, private transport is largely a thing of the past. In cities, but also in the countryside, they are equipped with magnetic stripes on which automated buses drive. In the metropolises, subways run at an unimaginable speed, the Hamburg - Berlin route is completed in less than 20 minutes. The world's major political blocs no longer exist and have given way to a UN that ensures that resources, work and the distribution of goods are done fairly across all continents. As a result, there is no significant migration. At work, automated facilities and robots have taken over people's tasks. This eliminates the need to leave the house for work. Instead of permanently working in one place, people are now working on higher-quality tasks and project-related cooperation. The exclusive use of renewable energy sources has significantly reduced global warming. There are no more engines or engines.

In 2040, wars are finally over, all countries in Europe are living in freedom and without oppression. The scourge of illegal immigration has been solved. Wages are finally adjusted to the cost of living, and health care is available to all without long waits. Improved living has led to more children and large families.

The year is 2040. Life is peaceful because war no longer exists anywhere on Earth. People live in peace. Cancer was eradicated 5 years ago. Heart disease still exists, but much less so because there's much less stress. We work 10 hours a day, but we have a 3-day weekend. We go away a lot, so life is much cooler.
