2040 Pensioner, I live well because now they have reduced taxes on pensions. In a few years we will move to a so-called senior home, where you can live in your apartment, but be close to the retirement home where you can eat or participate in events. Right next to the home is the preschool. There is a lot of cooperation between the school and the senior/retirement home. It is good for the children to socialize with the elderly and the elderly also like to socialize with the children. Parents can rest easy, because nowadays there is an invention that registers how children are feeling. So if a child starts to feel bad because of abuse, for example, it will sound an alarm. Now children are taken seriously! The police are allowed to use the DNA register, not just on previous convictions but on everyone's DNA. So they solve many more crimes. If you are guilty of a crime if you are not a Swedish citizen, you are deported for life if the sentence is more than two years.

Life in 2040 has improved in several areas, looking at the individual as a human being, not based on their skin color, religion, prejudices about other cultures. Psychiatry has improved, also looking at the individual's need for hospitalization, help in their own home, support to finish school and support to find work according to ability and perseverance, as this will ensure that the mentally vulnerable can see themselves as part of the community, without being looked down upon. By 2040, no children are bullied in schools, regardless of the reason for the bullying. All children have an equal right to be themselves, regardless of their background. Children are the future hope for a better world, and that future starts now with parents. Help must be available for parents who are struggling with parenting so that they can be better role models for their children. Children must have better conditions to get help if they need it, without being stigmatized. There are very few homeless people, and solutions are being worked on for the homeless before they are "lost to society". There are places they can turn to when life changes and the need for help arises. There are very short waiting times for examinations and treatment of patients in somatic hospitals. There is time for each patient and there is no shortage of doctors, nurses and other staff in hospitals. There is a focus on helping small business owners to stay in business, as they are all needed to serve the diverse needs of the people. It is natural to be of a different sexual identity than male/female in a relationship and others are not looked down upon because they do not represent the largest group of "normality". Religions and the people who have one live peacefully among each other, without waging war or imposing their religion on others. There are no dictators in the world, and the focus is on helping the nations in need of self-help, all nations help their neighbor to a better future without hunger and war, to get an education and better opportunities to help themselves and their family. In short, a better world than the one we live in now.

Life in Europe in the year 2040 has hopefully moved on for the better. There will be no war zones in Europe or the rest of the world - all international and local conflicts will find a reasonable solution, perhaps with each party reaching a consensus. The European Union, in cooperation with other countries of the world, has been able to initiate projects that help solve many climate problems, saving the planet Earth and its resources. Furthermore, as a people, we have reached the basic form of democracy, where the voice and opinions of the people are truly heard and politicians and government work together to make it a good place for people to be together. This also means that there is a particular emphasis on equality, both in terms of gender and in economic and health terms. Every person's rights are protected and safeguarded, but every violation is also 'held to account'. The world is a safe place, where both nature and people are protected.

In 2040, greenery is everywhere. Nature has returned to our cities, thanks to our ecological policies. The far right will no longer be present, and everyone will care about the climate. In fact, we've come a long way in that respect, because everyone is now careful about what they consume and what they do. We consume in short circuits and organically. People care about others, and not as they used to with the extreme individualism that almost tore us all apart. Minorities also have more rights, and everyone is accepted! Women are no longer invisible in our previously patriarchal society. Citizens and scientists have been able to make their voices heard, and politicians have had no choice but to follow their advice in their projects.
