Utopia kommt ein Stück näher

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

I would like to see the conflict between economy and ecology overcome by 2040. Companies will no longer have to strive for extreme profit, but will be rewarded for sustainable production. In addition, products produced in this way are subsidized by the state so that almost everyone can buy them. The neo-liberal economic ideas have finally been consigned to the dustbin and no one would think of following the capitalist ideas any more.
In addition, the social systems have been harmonized so that the major gaps have been closed and no one has to work beyond the age of 65. The professional civil service has been abolished and only a few essential professions (police, fire department, judiciary) still have civil servants in the necessary positions. Private health insurance has been abolished and transferred to the statutory system so that all employees pay equally into the social security system and stability is guaranteed.
Parliaments have shrunk to reasonable sizes (Bundestag 301 members, the rest staggered according to population up to a maximum of 49) and the associated bureaucracy has also shrunk. The money could be used for sensible projects to reduce legal regulations, so that digitalization could also be decisively advanced.

Friedliches Leben in einer friedlichen Welt
The land is technically up to date. Taxes are levied fairly and everyone has almost equal space for themselves and a garden. Religions are banned, eliminating many differences. Thanks to fusion energy, sufficient energy is available everywhere at a very low price. Local and long-distance transportation has been reorganized and rationally planned so that punctual, clean journeys can take place reliably (like Switzerland or Japan now)

Europe, eine Zukunft in Wohlstand und Sicherheit
A united Europe in peace and with prosperity and security for all. A common security and defense policy, away from the USA, to show Russia's dictator the limits. Great Britain back in the EU, Ireland united and Ukraine the newest member of the community.

Ein Volk wird erwachsen
The year 2040 is a good year, because the pointless regulations from the EU are history - instead, competent people are taking care of really important issues such as education and research. As a result, the level of education will have risen again and people will have learned to question themselves and others critically and honestly.

A sustainable and peaceful Europe
In 2040, I envision a Europe that is sustainable, inclusive, and peaceful. The war against Ukraine has finally ended, and lasting peace has united nations. Clean energy powers our cities, and green spaces thrive with urban farms and vertical gardens providing fresh, local food. Transportation is fully electric, with high-speed trains and self-driving buses making travel efficient and accessible. Rural areas flourish thanks to smart infrastructure and digital connectivity. Education is more interactive, using virtual and augmented reality to create equal opportunities for all. Social equality is a reality, with fair wages, affordable housing, and universal healthcare ensuring a high quality of life. Communities are strong and diverse, embracing innovation while prioritizing human connection. Technology supports well-being, enhancing lives rather than replacing jobs. This is the future I hope for—a Europe built on peace, sustainability, and inclusivity, where we all thrive together.
