Rephrase?
I think they're saying this:
Family meals would comprise of three restaurants worth of people since they're all immortal
Separately, you can never retire since you will never hit retirement age
If you're immortal, you get to see your family expand to the points that organizing a single family meal requires 3 restaurants to house everyone.
Since you (presumably, otherwise it's a shitty immortality) don't get old, you don't get to retire
Retirement is a function of money/wealth, not age.
If you're immortal, you'd (not you specifically, just whoever in general) have to be a complete tool to go through hundreds/thousands of years without generating at least enough wealth to retire at some point.
