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 :-/

Eco-dreams
We are in 2040, I look out the window and I see a clear sky, few cars and all electric. I see so much green, the air is clean and there are children playing football (football cannot be missing even in the future!). I go out, a drone brings me groceries in front of the house, a grocery that my refrigerator did asking me what I wanted. Watch the news, talk about the fact that the United States of Europe is celebrating 10º year of life

I have several points on how I imagine the world to be fairer and better. Firstly, pensions. The intergenerational contract is full of cheese and is more like a pyramid game than a real pension plan. for the intergenerational contract to work, every citizen needs 3-4 children, which means that every woman would have to give birth to between 6 and 8 children. i have been working since i was 15 and therefore i have paid enough into the fund until i am 62 and have also been paid in by my employers so that i could easily enjoy my pension at 62. However, as there are also people who study until the age of 30 and then work part-time and also want to retire at 62, I am paid less and my contributions are redistributed. Since the pension money has already been spent because of the generation contract, I just have to hope that a few more people will be found who will then dutifully finance my pension. The generation contract is like a pyramid game and should be abolished. Security Internal security: It is a fact that the internal security situation has deteriorated considerably since the influx of refugees. They come to a Christian Europe, mainly Austria and Germany, and want to live out their culture here, from which they have fled and which does not function peacefully. The inhibition threshold of Muslim people is sinking further and further so that they commit massacres and murders in Austria, rape children and women and as soon as you say something, these people call you a Nazi. You are not a Nazi if you kick a rapist where it really hurts and then demand that he has forfeited his right as a guest and must return to his homeland. For me, a religion-free society would be much more sensible anyway, then there would be more room for science and without faith there would be no unbelievers. External security: There is a lot of discussion about how we should defend ourselves against Russia if the USA does not support us against Russia. It is never said how we can achieve lasting peace with Russia. How an economy with Russia and the EU could work. A war would only please the arms lobby, otherwise it would bring no benefit. fieden benefits everyone. Gender madness: It's time we stopped with the gender madness. If someone doesn't know what he/she is, just a quick grab in the pants solves the problem. There are 10 people in Austria who were either born without or with both genders. However, homosexuality is neither a disease nor a gender. you can love what you want and you want it as long as the people involved are not underage and consenting. Then "DEUTSCH Österreichisch" should be spoken again on ORF and not stuttering German with * or binnen-i. Teachers teach this at school. Anyone who knows German knows from this sentence that male and female teachers are meant. There is a female teacher that is to be used spetziell for female teaching staff. I feel discriminated against as a man that there is no word that Spetziel aims at male teaching staff. Environmental protection is important, no question. However, cutting down the rainforest so that lithium can be mined to build batteries for electric vehicles is a wrong environmental idea! it does nothing for the world if Austria reduces greenhouse gases unless everyone pulls together. Germany and Poland are also building more coal-fired power plants to cover the energy requirements for e-mobility. this is illogical, because the efficiency of the combustion engine is better than that of coal-fired power plants and charging. In addition, battery production causes as much CO2 as a combustion engine emits with a mileage of 120000 km. Only then would the e-car amortize in the environmental balance sheet if the electricity did not come from coal-fired power plants, because then it would never reach zero balance. In addition, after 10 years the battery in electric vehicles is unusable and has to be replaced. It would be more beneficial to reduce the number of transport ships by producing many of them in the EU and not outsourcing everything to China or India. 3 largest transport ships need as much fuel annually as ALL motor vehicles worldwide. and transport ships are powered by heavy fuel oil and not by more environmentally friendly diesel or gasoline. We should be proud of our Christian values and if someone does not adhere to our

There are now fusion generators that can really be used as power plants. Yamp! This solves the problem of increasing energy demand in the world. Electricity has now become cheap. There is a boom in the recycling industry, as energy-intensive processes have suddenly become economical.

Il mio primo giorno da pensionato felice
Today is July 13, 2040 and after so many years of work, I finally retired! I decided that I would take a tour of the city and since, unlike a few decades ago, even if we are in the middle of summer there are only 28 degrees I will ride a bike between one park and another following at least part of the longest cycle path in Europe. I will stop without a doubt to look at the wind farm installed on top of Montestella, also because the neighbor passes there are a couple of those ice cream shops of the people where pistachio ice cream is offered to the lords of my age.
