We are in the year 2040, in April I will turn 60 and I imagine facing my last professional years with a smile on my mouth, with a terrible desire to reach retirement age or already thinking about reducing my work activity to focus on enjoying life. My kids just made me grandpa and this is my biggest illusion now. I will enjoy my people, my friends and acquaintances, the close family and the new entertainment opportunities offered by new technologies. All kinds of experiences that, as always, are best enjoyed in the best company, that of yours, the family you have and the family you choose. My children have jobs that allow them to enjoy life and people more than we have, but we must make an effort so that we all coincide in special moments. We value physical contact very much and prefer this to do it through screens, although sometimes there is no other remedy. 2040 is presented with a relative world peace and we must take advantage of it, people try again to enjoy the moment, the small things, in the face of the flood of technology so necessary and at the same time so dehumanized.

Bevolking Nederland.
It is January 1, 20240 and it is 00:00. Happy New Year. Even in 2040, developments in ICT will be even more advanced than in the past 25 years. Unfortunately, automation is going to cost many jobs and the world economy remains uncertain. The Netherlands now has more "imports" living in most cities than natives. The developments that started 40 years ago are unstoppable and will continue. Successive governments have not been able to do anything about this growth, because the Netherlands is bound hand and foot to Europe. Economically, more and more money also has to be spent on defense, but in my opinion this is not necessary, because new wars are being fought via computer.

Un futuro equo e sostenibile
Vorrei un futuro più sostenibile, in cui ci fosse più utilizzo dei mezzi pubblici e meno delle auto. In cui si usassero esclusivamente fonti energetiche rinnovabili, come l'energia solare. Un futuro in cui la sanità diventi equa e sostenibile, in cui i soldi per le spese militari fossero utilizzati per sostenere la ricerca scientifica.

Det finns hopp
The year is 2040 and this is the year the world started to heal, work for equality and focus on doing together what is best for the world. We have started to do proper checks on those who are world leaders and unfortunately it turned out that we had too many people with mental illness in power for a long time. This has led to deep wounds in history with wars and many people suffering unnecessarily. We have started to focus on healing these deep wounds and helping each other.

Svobodno življenje
I live somewhere in Europe. It doesn't matter where, because wherever I go, there are no more taxes, no more tyranny and harassment from the government, no more stupid laws that intrude into people's private lives. No more various globalist, greedy, immoral "people" deciding my future ( because they are all in jail or on trial in the Hague ) we are ruled by the people, or rather by the chosen libertarian leaders we the people have chosen.
