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.

Happy Life
AI should be very well regulated so that it does not become dangerous for humans. Regarding human resources policies, these must be focused on providing jobs that ensure a high standard of living, the economy to operate at low costs, and medicine to be minimally invasive.

El futuro que deseo para todos
I imagine living in a small city in a rural and natural environment, leading a simple life enjoying a peaceful retirement, has managed to reverse housing problems because there is no real estate speculation to take over the administration of the construction and management of the real estate park intended for society. Education is public, compulsory and free including university studies, health is public, free and universal, taxes are paid according to income, and there is a universal guaranteed income. People have full freedom of movement between countries and there are no obstacles to immigration.

Gaišās vecumdienas
Given that I will be retired soon, I hope that I will be able to enjoy my old age peacefully. That there will be enough people in Latvia to get my old-age pension. I hope I could live climate neutrally, the House would be at least passive, or if it were still an apartment in the city, then in a thoroughly insulated house. I hope I can afford to buy and use an electric car by charging it from solar batteries right there in my house. Ideally, I have one car and kids on each electric car as well. I will definitely continue to sort the waste. I assume that it will be possible to separate the combustible lightweight packaging from the recyclable packaging. Also, the deposit system will hopefully be wider, adding more items to the current ones. And it would be good if every time you arrive to hand over the packaging, it would be possible to hand it over. I will probably continue to move around the city with public transport, which will hopefully be highly electric. I hope that most food will not be transported far away. Things that are available on site are better not to be transported far away. What is not available on site can be transported, but everything available on site will not be transported far away. Wind and solar energy will also be more widely available.

Diseases are defeated , everyone lives in good health, accidents are rare and well cared for. Transport does not cause pollution thanks to new technologies. The world is in harmony with nature. Education is ongoing.
