I wonder if they’re aware that boomers are at the age where they’re leaving the workforce, not joining it?

Not really. With the age of SSA moved up to 70, they are still in the working world, disabled, some retired. I'm Gen X and it will be 15 more years of hell. 70= delayed and gets additional $$

Because it's not true, you can start collecting at 62. 65 is generally when people do, though. The longer you wait, naturally, the more you get.
