Elder Care

David Scott had been, diplomatically, not fully able to do his job for years and was running for another term.

They don't want to retire because even the very rich ones can't really purchase the kind of "care" that their staffers will provide for them, at least not if they didn't already have longtime personal staffers.

There used to be regular mini scandals about staffers doing personal duties for their bosses. I'm sure there is an enforced omerta now as so many offices are like this.
