I talk to a lot of retired people. And a lot of them mention they’re bored and interested in finding some kind of fun job. of those that have tried it, it’s gone badly. There’s just so much nonsense in any job. It seems like employers really take advantage of the fact that the employees need the money to live.

Very true. I retired early (around 50) and not having enough money to be a world globetrotter I found things boring around my town. So I started working again (2x) 4 times per week and that helped a lot. I agree that older workers not in specific high needs businesses are seen as low wage cogs. Funny but I live in a town with a lot of people who've retired and so even volunteering is difficult - there's a glut of volunteers. Now with Covid stay at home almost all volunteer opportunities have dried up.
