My dad, a boomer, is now on his third career...

To be clear, he absolutely doesn't need to work. But he keeps going... he's very healthy too. Early 60s, good health, works out still, so he could easily work another 15-20 years assuming his health doesn't decline rapidly. It's kinda crazy. I ask him all the time like "Dad, why don't you just retire for real..." "oh, I don't know what I'd do then." And he smiles. The mind of a boomer is an enigma.

My mom is basically the same. She gets social security and she's constantly (constantly dude) complaining to me about restrictions on how much she can work and get benefits from retirement and I'm like "Mom! Just retire!" She doesn't have multiple pensions like my dad (what an incredibly different world my parents lived in), but he's always supported her while she raised their kids and she works part time jobs for something to do. She loves those shitty little jobs and absolutely can't stop.

Boomers just can't stop working. It's crazy. And to he 100% crystal clear here, my parents absolutely do not need to work another day and they'll be fine. It really boggles my mind and annoys me, which seems to confuse them. I just don't get it. Wtf is wrong with boomers

One more thing to add is to mandate baby boomers to retire already, so gen X and millennials can be promoted and then entry-level jobs can exist again.

God, I wish that would happen. But the time boomers are actually (forcibly) retired, gen X and millennials will be old as fuck and their lives mostly wasted already. And automation increases anyways.
