There wouldn't be any cars in cities: only public transports and light transport means as bikes and scooters. With no need for car parking, there will be more spaces transformed in parks and gardens. With no need for large routes, all streets will be more green with trees and plant or vegetables containers. With less pollution, we will be able to eat fruits and aromatic plants grown in our own neighborhood. As teleworking will be the norm for some businesses, we will also be able to work from abroad time to time and this way enjoying longer stays and a slower way of travel. Using train will again be the norm; air plane will be limited to business and urgencies.

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.

Every human being is valuable regardless of his or her nationality, age, level of education, etc. The state has high social guarantees. The unemployment rate is very low. The tax system is benevolent to the population. Income tax 15%, VAT max 18%. Maximum 4 working days per week. Free medical care, free higher education. Public transport is free. Utilities are cheap. Borders are open, people can travel where they want. There is no threat of war, there are no wars in the world.

I don't know because I'm 68. In 15 years, I may not be around to know whether 2040 will be the future. Let's remain optimistic, but in 2040, at 83, my life is behind me. I'm thinking of my son, his family and, above all, my grandchildren. Will France still be a democracy? Has the Great Replacement begun? Has war devastated Europe? No, none of this: people have mellowed, our leaders have found solutions for a peaceful world, the ecological revolution is beginning to bear fruit, and the world is calmer and more serene. My grandchildren are flourishing in their work and in their lives. Their future looks bright.

Ma vie

In 2040 I'll be 67.... I hope to live out my days in peace and quiet, having found peace and learned from my mistakes. I imagine myself surrounded by my daughter and the family she will have built. I'd like to see a world without hatred, empathetic, where human beings take their place and accept that difference is a source of richness.
