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.

Selvforsynende og bedre behandling
We are smarter in 2040. After the corona crisis in 2019, we realized how important it was to be self-sufficient. So now, in 2040, agriculture has started to sprout up again around Denmark, a number of taxes have been removed to make it easier for farmers to sell their produce, and even restaurants have started to have their own kitchen gardens. And the healthcare sector has improved, not that taxes have gone up, on the contrary, but focus has been placed on ensuring that doctors' offices and hospitals have highly trained staff who actually treat patients, i.e. investigate what might be wrong with the patient, rather than just throwing panodils at them and hoping that the patient's problems go away. Because it really lagged in 2024-2025.

The year is 2040, ten years ago, and all wars and political conflicts have ended. Peace reigned. Infrastructure that was destroyed during the war is being rebuilt. The world economy has become interconnected for better results and goals.Everyone is optimistic for a better connected world and people are working less and enjoying more leisure time with loved ones. The whole world is united in overcoming hunger, social disparities and climate change.

La Nuova Europa delle Nazioni
A renewed Europe in which national identities and differences are exalted and where cultural roots are rediscovered. A Europe that limits illegal immigration and present ethnic substitution, and encourages repatriations in every way possible, helping individual nations to practice them. Safer roads and safer cities.

I believe that the European Union will still exist and that Lithuania will be a member of it. Politicians will no longer make bold decisions that radically change people's lives and habits in terms of migration, the environment and so on. They will not be able to change the way they live and work, or the way they live and live in their neighbourhoods. The veto will be abolished in decision-making. Europe will have its own army, with the South joining in.
