The word choices might be confusing people that are not from a more environmental background, I read it as excitement for a guaranteed income, which is becoming more popular around the world as a idea to prosper.

I think War will alter the excitement you have for the future but I will bite and think about this issue.

The concept of a better world is really something that I think is not going to play out and the mold of it changes with each generation.
People are going to start dying from not being able to move out of areas that are now starting to be hit my severe weather changes and that alone will cause issues with how we navigate the political minefield.
