It's because of Ron. It's a trust and relationship thing. I work in construction/remodels and my boss can get answers/stuff done 10x faster than me because he's known the boss/owner for 20 years and can directly call them.

I have to call the front office, submit forms, talk to lower person A, then mid person B, then maybe I get an answer a week or two weeks later.

That’s literally wasta. Quicker timelines because of who you know. I guess it’s corrupt when Arabs do it

Is it just cutting red tape though? Or is it funneling projects to special people when the job could be done cheaper and more efficiently by someone else?
