I'm not sure if that's good or bad. "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about" comes to mind. Retirement, like middle school, sounds like it will likely be very low-stakes (you're not significantly driving the overall course of your life) so for many people, socializing and jockeying for position might be all there is.
Sounds better than living in a neighborhood or building where you no longer know anyone.
If you consider that historically elders would play community role, assist in rearing children, etc., it would be bad. Given this generation though I don’t think there’s much to offer in those. So it’s probably better to see them amass in Florida and gossip amongst themselves.
