To see my enemies crushed. To see them driven before me. And to see more hybrid and electric vehicles on the road.
I want to see less vehicles on roads.
More walkability / bikability and public transit would be great!
Bring on the lamentations of the fossil fuel executives
Well, you could always close your eyes
We also would have accepted the lamentations of their women.
Genghis, we've talked about this before: you can't snap arrows and push EV's at the same time -- there needs to be a transition period.
That we're able to dodge the incoming wave of fascism and peacefully skim board into progressive politics.
The US Government will remove their heads from their asses and work on fixing things before it's too late.
Ideally by regulating the shit out of corporations, and dismantling fraudulent 501(c)(3)s like the Heritage Foundation.
Just having better options for the next presidential election would be a step in the right direction.
Hopefully more states start to heavily push the Alternative or Ranked Choice voting systems.
There are entrenched entities heavily invested, literally and figuratively, in aligning the government with their interests, and against the interests of the majority. Their primary methods are propagandizing the gullible to vote for the representatives they have invested in, and fomenting apathy in those they cannot propagandize.
The solution is two-fold: supporting candidates aligned with your interests throughout their career from local elections up to more powerful ones, and voting in every election for the front-runner who is less detrimental to those interests.
If you think the current government has their heads in their asses, it's a good bet that this two-fold solution takes the form of voting for progressives in local elections and greater primaries, and showing up to vote for whichever of the front-runner candidates is comparatively more progressive.
Voting for a candidate that is progressive but vastly unlikely to win is counterproductive. Not voting because none of the likely candidates is sufficiently progressive is counterproductive.
If everyone understood this, and showed up to vote, within a few election cycles we'd have a government composed of un-assed heads.
Everyone moving to open protocols and companies like Reddit, Twitter, Meta going bankrupt
The people in power actually taking climate change seriously, and not just in a tragedy of the commons type of way. I mean actually working together to slow it down or reverse it.
Proof for extraterrestrial life. It doesn’t have to be aliens in spaceships or even a transmission. I would be fine with microscopic organisms on Ganymede or Europa.
I hope to see my own financial stability in the future. I hope things change for the better and there are lots and lots of job openings for people, no more recessions.
Universal basic income. Everywhere.
At this point, every day above ground is a good day.
Yeah but someone's gotta mine that coal
If we could harness fusion power in the near future that would be neat.
I'm here to make a flippant sarcastic comment about us already having fusion, and that all we need is enough solar panels to capture it. I thank you for your time, and yes I will go eff myself.
Thank you for acknowledging that comment is inappropriate for a hope thread, regardless of how correct it may be.
For my life to have worth.
I don’t know you or your situation, stranger, but it can happen as soon as you’re ready.
The Star Trek timeline, I just want a holodeck, but they just keep hawking this VR/AR crap :(
a easy and stress free retirement
Finally winning the lottery!!
Just remember: 99% of gamblers quit just before they win big!
Trump die
Edit: Oh shi-
Industrial use of oil and coal goes poof
A decline in my cynicism that is caused by factual occurrences in reality.
Not dying in a food riot.
Elon Musk has an interview and just...explodes.
Ending world hunger and finding a cure for cancer and other currently uncurable diseases.
Liberty and justice for all.
And soft lavatory paper.
I hope I have a heart attack in my late 40s or early 50s so I don't have to experience much of the future.
Loud hot rods and motorcycles become quiet as a whisper. Guns disappear. Religion disappears.
