Overusing Cruise Control

Letter to "The bullfighting" Letter to

Precarious indefinitely
Dear Bullfighting is a "boy" of 37 ½ years. I put quotation marks around the word because it is not fair to call it so '. Nowadays, however, remains even kids up to 45 years for several reasons. I am part of that generation lost in the maze of precarious (and yes, they are boring because riparlo of boring things, but in this case it is better to be boring and do not let go of the bone) because of the "Biagi law", which actually paid on behalf of a long list of "characters" untouched, workers defined by the Great Grillo, "transbiagici workers" or "slaves modern. " For good or bad luck that are precarious, virtually at home, doing chores on their own often paid poorly or late chronic lack of seriousness huge, but with no family to support. What is a status that is not envy to be precarious 50 years with young kids to keep still: I wonder what future these families can give to their children? But back to my situation: graduate, semi-unemployed, who havissuto outside Italy for years frustrated by mass of two jobs, three mesispesso contact me through temporary employment agencies, and propongonocontratti short but "with the possibility of taking" no longer believe anyone ... These false hopes that are created and given to young people no longer have 'grip, but I think' that by dint of luck to talk about and focus on the situation clearly in black facing our country, something is moving in the conscience. We must address the situation because in 30 years we have retired, we can not sit ... you can not 'go Avantic'. The article in the Italian costitutizione states that "Italy is a Republic founded on work" not the "precarious work" I'm in a state that the Italian does not pay me the unemployment because "I'm fired" (as the company does not pay me and maybe ....!) subsidies are given to people who have false pensionidi disability whose checks are made when the person is already in the grave.! I am in a country where it is believed only to seal the door to foreign capital (vedicaso telecom) but, paradoxically, where the state has provided funding for decades, large companies that have gone into the pockets of some banker Islands Caymaan while jobs in These companies have been "killed" because of bankruptcy, or small shareholders were cheated (see Parmalat "). ragire Where is the strength of this situation? It is believed only to wait for the game of football Sunday (when I was too accustomed to football, I am now "repentance") or maybe pay a fine of millions scum as it appears in TVe Fabrizio Corona declares that "Italy wants this." Why a TV station instead of giving the money these people do not invest in education and research staff in a more 'clearer,' transparent and meritocratic? Rather than using those already taken extraordinary spremendoolo with a heart attack and leaving him on the chair in a corner of a ufficiocome a boxer on the ropes, where the ring of his life can not wait to ring the gong? So, I wonder what we're doing to ourselves, what will? What will the rule of law but said an unfortunate fact "banana republic" where people who commit murder after a few days is allowed to remain free? Instead of being put to hard labor as worthy? What to say in a country where politicians are only the calculations? Our politicians ..... bah! A fist fight, get offended but then give the impression of acting as in the theater, but people should wake up: it must understand that they live not only in football and dale!! We must react vigorously with the inconvenience because if we go on like this' many young people "cum grano salis" emirgreranno and ultimately the Italian fascinated as ever by some characters, in difficult times will rely trivially usual demagogue who will promise to turn years of glory, perhaps just for him ...

What Does Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma Look Like

Beppe Severgnini

job, when the man is penalized
Dear Beppe, as people are talking about equal opportunities in Italy, I wanted to point out a problem that many underestimate the world of work. As has been amply demonstrated because of a wrong mentality, women are disadvantaged compared to men when it comes to fill positions of responsibility. But this has a downside: a man of 35-40 years who did not work career is more difficult than a woman, especially if the woman's family situation does not provide for future motherhood. Women are seen to be 'persons' best and are mainly used for routine work or do not provide for professional growth. Just look to notice the ads: it is often specified "Wanted used / secretary / assistant 'by law despite any research must be directed to both sexes. I think it is appropriate to consider similar roles for men too because not everyone has the skill or luck to become manager and accept a modest salary indefinitely even if not very young is better than living eternally between job insecurity and unemployment.
