Retour sur la logique des choses

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I wake up one morning in the new year, 2040.
Like any other morning, I'm getting ready for an ordinary day.
Today, it's safe to walk the streets. Delinquency shaves the walls, since repression is harsh but fair, a little like in the Middle Ages, but effective (caning, reopening of prisons). Controlled immigration and the deportation of delinquents have contributed to all this.
Men have realized that women can do as well as, if not better than, them. That said, parity and quotas are a thing of the past - we live in a world of meritocracy.
Women are breathing a sigh of relief, and rapists and sex offenders are being severely punished. They have also understood that if they want to please, they have to accept being looked at, admired and approached by other people of all genders. In fact, there are now only 2, masculine or feminine. Non-binary people, those who feel like a flowerpot every 4 mornings..., are followed up for shrink failure.
Society has become fairer, and freeloaders no longer exist. People who live on assistance without ever working are no longer entitled to it. All work deserves a salary, so no work = no income or benefits.
Social security is on the mend, since we've stopped treating all the world's misery.
Young people are better educated, thanks to ever more innovative new technologies, but above all thanks to a culture of effort and hard work.
But above all, we've stopped doing anything that didn't make sense. For example, to import foreign products, they have to meet the same production standards. This encourages "local consumption", reduces carbon impact, and reinvigorates agriculture. Repair shops are to be found just about everywhere: no more systematic replacement, today we repair, just like in my youth. Containers are being reused, thanks to the return of the glass bottle deposit scheme.
Tourism has taken a knock, which seems normal to me, but it came late. If you want to preserve places, you have to protect them from man.
Apart from that, and it's not bad, I'm happy to have a quality of life like this, better purchasing power, better health, security, justice, well thought-out decisions but above all logic.
So, although this future makes me dream, I'm not going to be impatient to get there because I'll be 15 years older :-/

It is the year 2040, and the whole world is at peace. At last all wars are over, people no longer fear for their safety. Because not only that there is peace everywhere, there are also no robberies, thefts and gang fights. All countries have united to fight for the future of the earth. Everyone is making sure that future generations live well, that climate change does not make life more difficult. I hope it will be so. that people understand that everyone is responsible for making sure that our planet resists the adverse changes that are destroying it as long as possible.

I would like a greener future with people responsible to the world. Less capitalism, less consumerism, less individualism with people living with fewer things because they don't need to have houses full of objects and closets overflowing with clothes they don't use (and don't need) I would like people to use their cars less, even do without them at all, using instead public transportation (which should be efficient and free) or the bicycle, which is also good for them because it gets some exercise. I would like children to be made responsible and independent already, to be able to get around on their own and help with household chores because the load should no longer be only on women but divided among everyone in the family.

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.
