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 :-/

To tell the truth, I do not see a rosy future I would like that apart from the enormous advance of technology social networks disappear and we return to human relationships without idols to reach impossible and without living exclusively for the image, for the opinion of others and for money. I'd like some humanity back.

Un futuro sostenibile
In 2040 I would like a completely sustainable world, with renewable energy, green cities and green transport. Technology would improve life without harming the environment, ensuring well-being and more free time. Climate change would be under control and people would live in harmony with nature.

Hopefully someone will read it and take action. There is an urgent need to solve the housing problem. Creating a family is practically impossible if you have to be in a rented apartment at a high cost, from which the owner of the apartment with a small child can throw you out sometimes grazing him. It is no wonder that there is a decline in fertility in the EU and in lust if young families do not have a basic condition for creating families. Social security. No one asks you how much money you give a month for rent, and you don't get a loan at the bank, which installment would be less than what I'm paying for renting now. Where is the logic here? No wonder people emigrate from their countries to countries where conditions are better. There is no security either, these refugees, whom you say are doctors and engineers, and in fact ordinary monkeys are incapable of adapting to the civilization we have here. They are dangerous, endangering girls, children and senior citizens. You better pay the workers who do the ordinary work well, but there will be enough labour in the EU. On the other hand, we give ourselves a social contribution, beautiful apartments, while we Slovenes by nationality Europeans have to literally mantra to get a rented apartment.. nonsense. Let Europe take care of its people, you will not solve the migration problem in the EU, you can only solve it at its origin! Thank you.

I would like to see an environmentally friendly world where the economy is more evenly distributed between people, where we take care of the environment and animals and have environmentally friendly technology and development. We have a democratic policy that can work together despite ideologies. We are more self-sufficient and don't need to import that much anymore. Domestic sustainable production is favoured. We have a shorter work week and we live a more sustainable life. We eat less with meat and have free healthcare including dental care and optics. We have lower rates of sick leave because of this. We value other influencers, fillers and cosmetics. We have a balance between birth rate and death rate. We invest in research, inventions and industry that lead to sustainability. We invest in preventive measures to avoid crime and war. We work in collaboration in many areas to cope with all of the above. We also work to prevent corruption.
