That we’re able to dodge the incoming wave of fascism and peacefully skim board into progressive politics.
Universal basic income. Everywhere.
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.
The US Government will remove their heads from their asses and work on fixing things before it’s too late.
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.
Ideally by regulating the shit out of corporations, and dismantling fraudulent 501©(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.
Trump die
Edit: Oh shi-
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.

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.
As long as it’s not on Phoebe…
If this is a reference, I do not understand it. Sorry.
Without giving too much away, in the book/tv series The Expanse, signs of alien life are found on Phoebe. The books are most excellent and reportedly the tv series is as well, but I’m only on season 2.
Ah. I know that show. I just forgot it was on Phoebe.
No one remembers Phoebe, because Chandler always stole the show.
the pentagon declassified some ufo a few ago

I just want reliable long-term storage. Even if it’s a trickle of power coming out, I want it to be reliable and large, so that I can just throw energy at it when I don’t need it and can rely on it when I do.

That’s energy density, not power density. https://www.energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Energy_density_vs_power_density
If a loaf sized battery could hold 100 miles, I’d put 100 of them in a car and only recharge them every 10000 miles.
I’d be okay with how long it would take to charge.

Star Trek, minus the teleporters.
Maybe just teleporters that don’t work with living tissue.
If anyone ever invents a synthesizer somehow capitalism will fina way to ruin it. It would be lovely to live in a post scarcity society though
