Schon lange nicht mehr

I look out the window. There are no cars on the street, they haven't been around for a long time, but laughing children are playing among green plants. The cars park in the garage and at the push of a button I can call them to me if I need one of the collection cars. But that is rarely the case. The U7 takes me wherever I want to go. Fast and comfortable. And why drive forever when everything I need is nearby? I run errands around the corner. For a long time you no longer have to shop impersonally on the Internet for simple things, but can personally get simple things around the corner again. Personal and fast. Admittedly, there isn't the widest choice, but for that too. All you need is around the corner and the saved time I spend with friends meeting on the street where everything is green. Street, what's that word? That hasn't been right for a long time. I have to correct myself, I meet on the green path in front of the house.

Budúcnosť nevidim rúžovú - zbrojenie nas privedie ku koncu sveta a náš koniec na tejto zemi
I would like to see free modern healthcare, to see European salaries and product prices harmonised, there must be no difference between European countries. The rich are getting richer from our work, so let this profit be distributed among all those who participate in it. Every job is important and everyone is entitled to a decent life - only one has it.

les voyages du futur
By 2040, the way we travel will have changed completely. No more human-driven cars. We'll be boarding spacious, comfortable machines equipped with a variety of games and screens. All we'll need to do is ask for our destination, and we'll arrive at high speed, stress-free and fatigue-free.

Nevalné vyhlídky.
The main issues to be tackled are migration, peace, the environment. The EU needs to impose tough rules so that it does not pay for anyone to migrate to Europe. This could be done by 2040. Migration causes unrest in society, fear among local people, acts of terrorism. Peace - calming the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These two conflicts make us most nervous. Politicians should do everything to bring about calm. And the environment? The whole planet must try to improve the situation, Europe will not save anything.

Gemeinsam zusammen
All the houses on our estate are energy self-sufficient. If the individual solar cells are not enough, we have our communal wind turbines, which always produce at high altitude. The profit is distributed to everyone. We only drive a few electric cars and prefer to use our bikes or local transport for most journeys. There are trees everywhere, it's green. Birds on every corner. I work for a company in Ireland. But with home office and fiber everywhere, it doesn't matter where in Europe I work. My son is studying in Denmark. But with the high-speed trains, he can be back here in an hour.
