It is interesting to peruse the lists through the years and see how many
politicians die each year.

They fly into a lot of tiny places to campaign, and they're not the type
of person to say or allow their employees (pilots) to say "sorry, the
weather is too bad, we're not going to make that $100 a plate fundraiser".

And when they or their family members are flying themselves, they haven't
been practicing all that much and so they don't remember how to fly
partial panel. And then their idiot wives sue the manufacturer of a part
that was actually working when the place crashed, and the idiot
judges/juries award damages against the manufacturer. But that's a rant
for another time.
