Hebrew article responding to an op-ed questioning whether the financial toll is worth it for the relatively small excess mortality.

https://www.themarker.com/amp/blogs/.premium-1.9415377

I read the article fast, so I might have missed something, but it seems to me that I agree with almost everything he writes.

Was there a human intervention in that translation?
Pure google translate. I didn't read it, is it good?

I skimmed through the translation and didn't notice anything egregious.

Someone should offer to take them off his hands. I think there's a word for people who pay money for these "credit card points" and then use them to book flights for other people. Is it "mileage broker",  maybe? ;)

What are you talking about, this industry was also hit and price for points decreased immensely. Here's where CSR comes in so greatly, 1.5 regardless and the relative security that it can't get devalued lower.

The focal point of his hobby was for personal travel and which he regrets now (which is strange to me anyways - most programs have put a hold on expiration). Seems like he's unaware of other ways of cashing out.
