A brilliant and hilarious political satire about a millennial who proposes that Baby Boomers be given government incentives to commit suicide at the age of seventy-five in order to save Social Security for future generations.
In 1965, TIME profiled the senior class of the elite Palisades High School in L. A. and 10 years later Michael Medved and David Wallechinsky interviewed the graduates to learn how their lives had turned out. The result is part biopic, part memoir, with brief narratives framing the subjects‘ memories and reflections. Anyone who ever wonders about long lost high school friends - and what they might recall about you - would find much to ponder here.
If you are fairly new to discussions of the selfishness/shortsightedness of middle-to-right politics that gained prominence as the Baby Boomer generation began to hold power, then maybe this book is for you. There was plenty I found engaging, especially as discussing the conditions at play coming out of the second world war, and the section discussing Vietnam draft dodging. But the author seems to have a lot of blind spots. #USPolitics #USHistory
A brilliant Millennial whose father squandered her college money finds herself among the Washington elite when she proposes that Boomers voluntarily commit suicide to reduce debt on the younger population. This is a hilarious, snarky political satire (a pro-life group is acronymed SPERM) read with perfect aplomb by Janeane Garofalo, who is simply perfect. I snorted my way through it.
