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 :-/

Le monde utopique
Serein’mobile technology without war without famine with care accessible to all and housing down and education for all and especially without hatred with respect for others in all its forms including Religion and above all more fairness and government and politics that work for the common good and not for their personal benefit and this requires salaries in an honorary and capped capacity and above all without being able to benefit from preferential treatment. There will always be rich but more distributions and no longer work in atrocious conditions for MEN including children who must all be schooled and not worked in factories or fields. And stop destroying our habitat we are our worst enemy and despite being the most evolved animal we do not learn from our mistakes

Évolution au travail
I would like us to have spent a long time in the 4-day work week, that teleworking allows us to work from anywhere. That finally in France we recognize the pain that women can have during their cycle and that like many other countries we are entitled to one day per month of paid stoppage due to our sometimes unbearable pains. Let the world change positively. That there is a self-help day imposed paid but not worked in the office rather to help the elderly.

Freiheit, Recht und Ordnung ohne belogen, betrogen und entmündigt zu werden
Writing is not one of my core competencies and so I ask for leniency in advance. A better future I would like to see would be: In Europe, each Member State is responsible for its own activities. There would be a free basic order that prohibits any form of surveillance and restriction of opinion. Prohibits manipulative press and fake news accordingly and checks journalism for truthfulness and regulates it accordingly in the event of violations. Ideological behavior no longer exists, as it is punished as fraud. Free market economy should be possible without obstructive regulations. By this I mean that only regulations that have been tested for their usefulness and cost-effectiveness are still possible and such excesses as we have experienced in the last 40 years are no longer possible. Taxes can only be collected and used for national tasks. Further funds must be raised either through donations or as part of a referendum. Waste of taxpayers' money will be punished and politicians will be held accountable for their violations. The EU can only monitor the requirements of the Community, but cannot develop its own rules. The surveillance mania of the authorities has been reduced to a normal level and the fundamental rights, similar to our Basic Law of 1970, are protected again. Crime is fought and enforced together across the EU. There may be a single tax law and the influence of industry, NGO ´s, super-rich and other interest groups on politicians is strictly prohibited. Politics only makes politics in the interest of its citizens and is liable for misconduct. Taxes and levies collected may only be used for specific purposes and all decisions are examined by independent people. The self-interest of incumbents has come to an end and the citizen is once again at the forefront of all political decisions. Education then starts already in kindergarten and the children no longer have to learn outdated garbage, but are trained to learn. With the aim of creating a better world free of ideology, they have also learned to question everything we are able to independently come to the right results. Manipulation is a crime that is taken very seriously. In the event of a crisis, people can be welcomed and cared for in our country. In case of violations of the guest right, these persons must leave our economic area immediately. Every radical belief is banned and all assets confiscated. Subcultures are no longer possible in the EU, as they are also anti-democratic. In 2040, the highest goods in our EU are: free opinion, freedom of travel, no poverty, inviolability of personal rights, chemical-free food, education at the highest level for everyone, free choice of profession, a real democracy. Unfortunately, there will continue to be crimes and for known criminals there will be a perfect surveillance that proves another crime immediately. We have more and more computers and machines that have replaced the human worker. For these devices, an assessment must then be made of how many workers are replaced by this device and minus the equipment costs, the salary for the workers is then transferred to the tax office as a tax. This can then be used to pay the unemployed and incapacitated, families and pensioners. Smoked goods, drugs and other toxins have not been used and sold for years. All this could be achieved through education and without prohibitions. I'd think of a thousand more points, but that's so unsorted and completely confused, so I'm ending it now.
