It would be nice if the European economy had recovered and the standard of living of citizens were at least roughly the same as today. It would also be nice if healthcare worked better than it does now and, for example, some kind of medicine had been invented for Alzheimer's disease. Europe could focus on future medical achievements. In 2040, the war in Ukraine would have ended and Russian President Putin would no longer be in power. The reconstruction of Ukraine would be well underway and would also contribute to the health of the economy and the employment of people. In Russia, democracy would finally have prevailed, and other states would no longer have to fear possible attacks or other forms of interference, such as cutting cables, etc. Europe could be at peace and focus on building a better future. Unnecessary regulation could be dismantled in the next few years in order to make European companies more successful on the global market and to save people time and money for activities other than fighting bureaucracy. Abundant regulation is usually a sign of distrust and fear.
