On July 1st, the Chinese government enacted a new law called the “Protection of the Rights and Interests of Elderly People”. It is, in effect, a state-sponsored guilt trip for the adult children of older parents…stipulating the need for frequent visits, phone calls, etc.
Retired teacher and computer consultant Barry Davis read about the new law in the New York Times... then wrote an op-edsuggesting America follow suit with its own “Bubbe’s Law”, as he calls it. We tracked Barry down at his home in Connecticut for more.
