Wealthy Baby Boomers will be the ones benefiting most from the terrible Republican tax bill that just passed the senate. What does âBarely a Boomerâ Dan Savage have to say for his generation? Eli Sanders of Gen-X and Millennial spokesmodel Rich Smith want to know. (Meanwhile, The Atlanticâs Ronald Brownstein thinks he knows exactly whatâs going on: âThe baby boom is being evicted from the penthouse of American politics. And on the way out, it has decided to trash the place.")
Also, in the first run of a new pod moment they're calling Elder Corner, the Blabbermouthers listen to a note from an elder who doesnât like all this Boomer-blaming.
After that, Sydney Brownstone is back to talk about what itâll mean for the #MeToo movement if Roy Moore wins the Alabama Senate race next week, and what to do with the very different ways Republicans and Democrats are handling sexual harassment allegations.
Finally, Dan makes the case that Jill Stein is to blame for any bad outcomes in the gay wedding cake case thatâs now before the US Supreme Court and Rich, Eli, and Dan play another round of "Would You Rather?" (Mike Pence or Donald Trump edition.)
Plus, as always, the music of Ahamefule J. Oluo.
