I found the following video very interesting.

It may be that speakers of languages with a strong future time reference
(e.g., English, Italian, Russian) have better lives economically than
speakers of languages with weak future time reference (e.g., Chinese,
German).

A language designed without a mandatory tense marker (in particular, for
the future tense), e.g., Lojban, might be better for its speakers than
having an obligatory future tense marker, e.g., Esperanto.
