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.

Family nest
I would like to be in a civilization where the family is the center of the life. The most important is the family. Every body in the family taking care of the other. No more nursing home, but the older will be safe at home with the youngest looking for them. The eldest would take care of the youngest too: no more nannies or childcare. And the one of the family who cannot work outside the home would take care of the cooking : no more bad food and health problems...

Lepsza przyszłość
In the future, people will have various cybernetic and bionic body enhancements like in the game Cyberpunk 2077. However, just like there, human qualities like friendship, compassion and other relationships have been lost. We should, as humanity, constantly work on this so that relationships and marriages can manage to survive for years despite problems. Another issue will be the ubiquitous humanoid and other robots. Cars controlled remotely from a phone and watch is a matter of time, a gardener or a cashier in a store will become a relic of the old world. Much will change if not everything. But the world will still remain a beautiful place full of greenery, flowers and colors, but there will be various agglomerations and cities without a shred of foliage and trees, just concrete and buildings.

Frieden auf erden
We all live together in peace and respect, no one has to starve or die of thirst. If we fall ill, we receive medical help. The water on earth is clean and the air is pure. There are no more cars in Germany's inner cities and the cycle paths are safe and well developed. Everyone is in work and people are balanced and friendly.

intercity vervoer
A trip without worries to another European country would be nice. In fact, you could easily, for example, track from Bilbao to Cologne in a few hours in fast trains without too many stops in between. All major cities with about 250 000 inhabitants should be connected to such a network. Currently you lose many hours by constantly changing trains , so people take the plane. The current night trains are a start but the length of time is still far too long.
