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.

Ou sont nos années bonheur!
In 2040, I'd like things to go back to the way they were between the 1960s and 1980s. Everyone was happy, there was no hatred, no violence, people showed solidarity, there was work everywhere, there was democracy, governments were cool. We'd need a woman in government, there'd be no war, we'd get back to living together, in fact we'd have to change everything we're living now

Tranquillity
I survived. After WW3 few have left living as civilization tries to rebuild itself. I work as a butcher and an hunter for our community. I have regular nightmares about how it all started. It started good, europe held against the invaders. As time passed dissidents in the form of immigrants started revolting, changing and sabotazing europe from within. The point of no return happened and nucleard weapons were used. That turned to be devastating to us and the enemy. Most things were destroyed. Now we somehow manage to come by. I live a more happy life than before. No wage slavery, no politics, nothing really just survival. It is peace. It is calm.

2040 - a dream come true
Europe 2040 - very different from Europe today. Ukraine, liberated from the Russians with European help, is now a member of EU. The borders have been closed and most immigrants repatriated to their home countries – the right to asylum is only in effect for neighbouring countries. As a consequences crime is less frequent and social tension is lower. Most EU laws has been abolished, except for free trade and free movement. Deregulation and modified climate legislation has created a foundation for growth and stability in Europe. The future is bright!

I would like to have my own home, house or apartment. The house should be large and multi-generational. As a family, we always stick together and help each other. That's what I would like to see continued and passed on to the next generation. Secondly, I would like it to be mostly healthy, independent of other people's help. The health care will be excellent and my family will be healthy too, no more cancer and other diseases. People should not be blackmailed by capitalists. They should only work when they want to. IF money will still work, they should be given the means for a decent education and then housing, living...survival, say an RENT like Dubai has. Education, healthcare and transportation is the basic standard. Children should be educated and brought up from an early age as it is currently in Japan and then maybe society will understand that WHAT is the *Higher Principle*. Politics should be solely dealt with by IA, choosing the best options for humanity. At present, only psychopaths with GOD complex are in politics...they can't see further from their noses, they only live in the HERE and NOW. Wars should be banned. In the same way murder should be severely punished, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!" Camurapi's laws apply to people today and even THEN, because BASTARDS have nothing to fear, they have no respect for anything. That's about the way I'd like the sieve to be.
