1. revolving door

   A revolving door is a type of door that consists of three or four panels attached to a central shaft. These panels rotate around a vertical axis within a cylindrical enclosure which ensures that one side is always open while the other is closed, minimizing the loss of air conditioning and heat. In political and business terminology, it refers to the movement of individuals between roles in public service or government positions and roles in private sector industries, often leading to potential conflicts of interest or unethical practices.
