I woke up and looked at the clock. It was the 18th of February 2040. How did we get here so quickly I thought? It all seemed like a dream. The world looked different. The EU did not exist in its original form. It consisted of 20 states and signed a free trade agreement with the USA in 2026. Since then Europe had a somewhat similar status to Canada and Greenland which held referendums about becoming the states of the USA. The referendum in the EU about the same issue did not pass like in Canada or Greenland, which became the states of the USA, but in the year 2042 we are having a rerun of the referendum, and this time it looks like it will pass. So in a few years, we will probably be part of the USA, everyone will have the freedom of speech, and we will all be happy rich, and prosperous. The golden age of Europe has finally arrived and it is here to stay. In the biggest free market on this planet with the independent, free-thinking entrepreneurial population.

Älter werden im Dorf

I have grown older. Together with my partner, I fulfilled my dream of building another house - after all, there was still room in the garden of the old house! It's not any smaller than the old house, but the layout is better. We have moved into the upper apartment - the office in the basement is no longer needed since we retired from work. It now serves as an apartment when children and grandchildren come to visit. Our neighborhood is constantly changing. Separations and deaths bring change. The houses don't stay empty for long. It is very popular to live in the village. People still look out for each other here and living together works. There are lots of activities for young and old, and most people are keen to get involved in voluntary work. All in all, it's a good place to grow older.

retour à la souveraineté des Etats

that the European Union's powers be reduced in favor of the national states that make it up; that Europe (particularly France) become once again a confederation of states in which the member states cooperate but retain their full sovereignty; that the Commission disappear and that the governance of the EU take the form of regular meetings of the Prime Ministers of the member states + possibly a few Ministers concerned by the subjects under discussion. That the so-called "European Justice" disappears, and that the law applicable in member states depends solely on national parliaments, to the exclusion of any intervention by supranational bodies.
