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.

Het wordt er allemaal niet beter op.
At that time, the world will look different. No cars, buses and lorries still running on fossil fuel. Only partially fossil fuel is used for aircraft. After the housing shortage was resolved in 2030, it is back again with the current generation. We are no longer physically visiting each other, but are now doing this digitally. You are also increasingly seeing the trend in digital holidays. With climate change, the temperature in the Netherlands is now the same as in Spain in the early 21st century. A Europe has been a success with the accession of Ukraine and Moldova. In the USA, the next generation Trump is now president and is an even bigger fantasist than his father. It's not gonna get any better.

Love wins.
In 2040, sexuality is not a consideration. Nobody cares which gender you are attracted to. Homosexuality, bisexuality, asexuality, and anything in between, are simply a personal choice. There are no bars to entering any walk of life. Your boss has no interest in your sex life, beyond wishing you happiness in whatever you desire. Everybody can walk down the street without hesitation, in the company of their partner, holding hands or embracing. There are no laws to criminalise any form of expression of love and affection. When all people respect the life choices of everyone, it makes the world a happier place. Love and respect leads to harmony.

Klimawandel bekämpfen
What I am most concerned about is climate change. I would therefore like both the government and each individual to become aware of their responsibilities and try to be greener. Be it in the consumption of electricity, the use of the car or anything else. Everyone can do their own little part of it.

La vera democrazia è libertà
Abolition of the European Union and return to the individual nations where it is decided for the interest of its citizens. Abolition of any supranational body and organization and more powers to individual municipalities. Total disarmament and dismantling of armies. Freedom of choice over anything and Freedom of enterprise without any permission to be requested and without bureaucracy, obviously in compliance with the law which should be a: Do not harm people and things. Maximum freedom of opinion and movement without any restrictions within national borders. No taxes on citizens, not even taxes. Everyone has to provide for themselves in any area. Judiciary elected by the people and politicians reviewed every 2 years so that if they do not apply their programs they return to the vote.
