 Полез в словарь обновить биос по поводу выражения 'gravy train'. Получил массу удовольствия с первых же строк:

Recent Examples on the WebCongressional Democrats frankly do not care whether their gravy train of spending will ever be financed.— Daniel J. Pilla, National Review, 29 Sep. 2021Because accountants, measurement services, fund managers & consultants are on the ESG gravy train, with stockholders & taxpayers paying.— Andrew Stuttaford, National Review, 24 Sep. 2021

People and business of every description hopped aboard this gravy train.— Robert Zafft, Forbes, 1 Sep. 2021And the cyclic process largely continues to this day – keep the congressional wheels turning and the gravy train funded as long as possible, whether a capability actually gets delivered or not.— Charles Beames, Forbes, 29 June 2021The award shows are doing their best to keep the gravy train going.— Avi Dan, Forbes, 22 June 2021Still, the gravy train continued, and seven months later, the Republican majority was thrown out of Congress in what was at the time its worst defeat since Watergate.— Brian Riedl, National Review, 2 Mar. 2021The trick is to make sure this spending is a bona fide public investment, not an unproductive gravy train for friends of the White House or legislators or for Jeff Bezos.— Robert Hockett, The New Republic, 1 Dec. 2020
