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 :-/

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.

Naturklima

I'm worried about people in 2040. We still don't understand that we always Disputes about how we can change the natural climate It would be so easy if everyone produced fewer pollutants. But unfortunately we can't agree and that's why the climate suffers. Nature's animals and people are reasonable saves the climate in which you can find a common solution only so that we can all find the natural climate Save otherwise, it's all too late.

It is 23 June 2040. Summer is in full swing: lush green all around, countless birds are singing, the meadows are full of flowers again, just like in my childhood, and bees and other insects are buzzing around. In towns and in the countryside, people near and far have come together to celebrate Midsummer by lighting bonfires, playing games, singing Ligo songs and dancing dances on Midsummer's Eve. This tradition, passed down from generation to generation, is still alive, and it is a pleasure to see that gradually people of other ethnicities who have made their homes with us have also joined in the celebrations, and on this day, more than others, understand why we are the way we are, and what we hold dear. Midsummer night is crisp and dew covers the ground, as the very dry and dry days of summer are yet to come and it seems incredible that in just a few months the ground will again be covered with a thick layer of white snow. People seem to be less happy now. Times are changing and everyone is freer to be who they want to be, to do what their heart is in and to raise a family without worrying about the turmoil around them, how to pay the bills, buy food, buy a home, or what it will be like to grow old. We are one big family again and no neighbour is a stranger. We look after everyone in our neighbourhood and know that if we need them, they will look after us. We realise that everything in the world is connected, we are wiser, with more zeal and idealism. We believe in ourselves and trust in each other.
