Worse for most, good for few

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

As world hasn't gotten into an agreement about changes regarding the climate change the world has gotten much warmer. Population has either started shrinking in areas that are no longer easily habitable or started moving towards better areas which are now getting crowded.
This of course affects health and wellbeing of the population.
Technology/science rushes forwards with the possibility to live off planet sooner rather than later it seems that the option is only for the most wealthy. It is true that technological breakthroughs could also make lives easier and better but at what cost? There are always those who'd profit which in turn makes benefiting from said progress expensive for everyone. Working definitely might change with automatic/remote controlled robots or such. But still the lower classes would'nt have that luxory.

Notes about the quiestionaire. The given/estimated 5 minutes is nowhere near enough time to collect thoughts/visions about possible future. Also there was no option to decline after clicking the link in email as there usually is.

I would like a greener future with people responsible to the world. Less capitalism, less consumerism, less individualism with people living with fewer things because they don't need to have houses full of objects and closets overflowing with clothes they don't use (and don't need) I would like people to use their cars less, even do without them at all, using instead public transportation (which should be efficient and free) or the bicycle, which is also good for them because it gets some exercise. I would like children to be made responsible and independent already, to be able to get around on their own and help with household chores because the load should no longer be only on women but divided among everyone in the family.

Le retour des 30 glorieuses ?
It's a sunny day of a hot summer. We have finally found a solution to the problem of global warming. In a relaxed climate where the economy has already recovered in recent years after a dark period, unemployment is at its lowest and so is the borrowing rate.

Welt und Gesellschaft im Einklang
In 2050, private transport is largely a thing of the past. In cities, but also in the countryside, they are equipped with magnetic stripes on which automated buses drive. In the metropolises, subways run at an unimaginable speed, the Hamburg - Berlin route is completed in less than 20 minutes. The world's major political blocs no longer exist and have given way to a UN that ensures that resources, work and the distribution of goods are done fairly across all continents. As a result, there is no significant migration. At work, automated facilities and robots have taken over people's tasks. This eliminates the need to leave the house for work. Instead of permanently working in one place, people are now working on higher-quality tasks and project-related cooperation. The exclusive use of renewable energy sources has significantly reduced global warming. There are no more engines or engines.

In 2040, wars are finally over, all countries in Europe are living in freedom and without oppression. The scourge of illegal immigration has been solved. Wages are finally adjusted to the cost of living, and health care is available to all without long waits. Improved living has led to more children and large families.
