Do boomers just think retiring is “dishonorable” or something? Like why cling to power if you’re too old to even materially benefit? At this point you just want your job so others can’t have it.

If they retire they won't have power anymore or be waited on as much as they were in office.

Plus not like they have to work now and have travel experiences.

But for non boomers in power it's just they built their lives too much around their job to leave it, or never had a chance to actually plan for retirement (ie never thought about it)

If my parents are any guide, yes. Neither one of them can think of anything else to do other than work
