I don’t understand why people like kings, queens, popes and in the US Supreme Court justices don’t retire when they get old. Instead you see them being dragged out into the public while they are barely alive and certainly can’t perform their tasks in any reasonable manner. Retire in dignity and let younger people do a better job.
