Finding work at that age-which is my age-is almost impossible. Although retired, I still make translations to make ends meet. It is true that we are living longer, but for social insurance, other solutions have to be found, not always at the expense of citizens.

Trovare lavoro a quell'età - che è la mia - è quasi impossibile. Sebbene pensionato, faccio ancora traduzioni per sbarcare il lunario. È vero che viviamo più a lungo, ma per le assicurazioni sociali bisogna trovare altre soluzioni, non sempre a scapito delle cittadine e dei cittadini.

But perhaps leaving it to the cooperatives and simplifying the bureaucracy a bit might also help.

Ma forse lasciar fare alle cooperative e semplificare un po' la burocrazia potrebbe anche aiutare.

I am in favor of vaccination and multi-vaccination, but not compulsory. However, some should still be mandatory (like polio, etc.).

Sono favorevole alle vaccinazioni e plurivaccinato, ma non all'obbligo. Però alcune dovrebbero comunque essere obbligatorie (tipo poliomielite, ecc.).

Emergencies are emergencies, and the CF in such cases must be able to act. If not, the pandemic passes first before action is taken.

Le emergenze sono emergenze e il CF in questi casi deve poter agire. Se no, passa prima la pandemia prima che si intervenga.

Heirs generally have no credit for the inheritance. And above a million they can also pay something. They don't become poor because of it.

Gli eredi non hanno generalmente merito per l'eredità. E sopra il milione possono anche pagare qualcosa. Non diventano poveri per questo.

You just attract more road traffic and that is the last thing we need. Even if all cars were electric in the future, they would still pollute (e.g., microplastics from tire abrasion that we already find in fish in lakes). And we then need to produce the necessary electricity (materials, batteries, etc.). We need to go other ways: smarter and with less tar.

Si attira solo più traffico stradale ed è l'ultima cosa di cui abbiamo bisogno. Anche se in futuro tutte le auto fossero elettriche, inquinerebbero lo stesso (per es. microplastiche dall'abrasione dei pneumatici che ritroviamo già nei pesci dei laghi). E bisogna poi produrre l'elettricità necessaria (materiali, batterie, ecc.). Dobbiamo percorrere altre vie: più intelligenti e con meno catrame.

When it takes a ban, it takes a ban (not always, neh). But focusing only on incentives, etc., is sometimes not enough. On the roads there is a ban on speed, not an incentive to go slow (which would not be respected).

Quando ci vuole un divieto, ci vuole un divieto (non sempre, neh). Ma puntare solo su incentivi ecc. a volte non basta. Sulle strade c'è un divieto per la velocità, non un incentivo per andare piano (che non verrebbe rispettato).

They still come back and we have to get used to living with them. We did that for millennia before we exterminated them. But I am in favor of protective measures.

Tornano comunque e dobbiamo abituarci a convivere. L'abbiamo fatto per millenni prima di sterminarli. Ma sono favorevole a misure di protezione.
