It's hard to write about a better future, because better it was, unfortunately. Now every year it is getting worse and more dangerous in the world. The powers are once again clashing for influence, and whoever shows weakness and lack of decisiveness loses. Such a fate, unfortunately, awaits a weak and divided Europe, which cannot agree internally whether to defend itself from Russian influence or to do a reset and cooperate with the East. The situation is exploited by Russia, which continues its westward expansion and occupies the Baltic states after Putin's death. The Americans, engaged in an economic confrontation (for the time being) with China in the Pacific, do not intervene and, in cooperation with Europe's richest countries, agree on a new division of influence with Russia. Everything east of Poland is already in the Russian sphere of influence, and Poland is under tremendous pressure from Russia, which supports certain political circles that eventually take over and bring Poland peacefully into the Russian sphere of influence. The only thing that has been avoided is a nuclear conflict.... for now.

Ausflug
In the year 2040, I take a trip. The ugly wind turbines that disfigured the landscape several years ago have been dismantled and properly disposed of. Instead, trees have been planted again and the birds are singing. Electricity prices have fallen again and supermarket prices have also remained stable because someone is finally in power who puts people's real health first. In the distance, the 5 G antennas on the prefabricated buildings have disappeared again because people have remembered Nikola Tesla, who said: "Everyone can get electricity for free. More oaks, chestnuts and beeches have been planted again and no longer the small ornamental trees. After I've had a rest and looked at the vegetable fields, which are now fertilized with natural substances, I make my way to my quarterly appointment with a naturopath, which everyone can now attend free of charge once a quarter, because it's a preventative measure to make sure I'm eating healthily and that my mineral levels are in order so that I don't get sick in the first place.

Gemeinsames Europa
Europe has a relatively open border system. The nation states still exist and their independence is still fully intact in most areas. In defense, a pan-European stance will also protect European economic interests. The people of Europe are trying to intensify common ground in order to strengthen and protect Europe's status.

Lavoro leggero e tempo per sè
In 2040 many jobs will be replaced or helped by technology, this means less time will be needed to do them. I would like to see us be able to divide the work among the same number of people, so that no one is left jobless, but give a lighter work schedule (half of today's) to everyone.
