It's broader than that, surely. It's basically the use of an upper-class network to maintain and improve the power and wealth of that class, part of which may involve funnelling government money in their direction...

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.
