There's a saying "the squeeky wheel get's the grease".

People usually do what works for them. thats exactly why we still see fist fights, disinformation, yelling, racisim, war, complaining, etc. It does what it was intended to do. Otherwise, people would do something else.

A leaky cauldron gets thrown out, is the counterargument here.

If you want to be angrier or as angry - catharsis is great.

Thats why I love these types of sayings!

It doesnt always get grease, does it!

It depends on the usefulness of the source of the squeek! For me it translates as 'be worth helping'.

This even works for your couldron, is it worth fixing?
