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.

Un futuro meraviglioso per tutti
In the future, I would like to see social and cultural inequalities narrow. I would prefer a world without poverty, without hunger and with equal wages for men and women and for all the countries of the European Union. We must become one people, strong and healthy. There should be no unemployment and young people should find work immediately after finishing school.

La vie d'après
I hope that life will be sweeter, that there will be fewer crimes, less crime... less wars.... Let people be there for each other. Let people be respectful and sincere... Which is not the case now and I find it a shame.

Nennen wir es nicht Kommunismus, weil das einfältige Menschen verwirrt
It would be a social system in which welfare does not depend on listed companies. In prosperity would be the goal for all and not the preservation of indecent private assets through inheritance. Green energy and organic farming would secure supplies. Europe would have grown even closer together and the UK would again be part of the EU. Society as a whole would be in solidarity and would of course help the weakest members of society and not trample them underfoot, as is the case today.

Eutanasia
To think that we are already in 2040! But very satisfied with the advances in Medicine and the improvements in Public Health. With my 90s, I have prosthetics everywhere, in the hip, in the knee, in the elbow and what do I know more. A perfect denture, by the courtesy of the Social Security. Nothing hurts. My health is perfect. But, I want to choose to die. That's what I want in my future. Choose dignified, lawful, regulated death, without being sick. Sitting in my armchair, in front of the movie screen. A documentary, for example, about the Iguazu Falls. And finish sweetly, without knowing it.
