Poll question: Does the Squeaky Wheel get the Grease or Get Removed?
I've notice in my 60 years on this planet that this is
a question unanswered on when to say too much
or not enough

I've been a Squeaky Wheel most of my life
but been removed and sometimes I got the grease.

But this wheel keeps on moving.

Right now, i'm think we should get the grease
politically but they who must be obey, may disagree.

OK..... I will do 'other' in the poll
just to satisfy moderation....LOL

5. It depends what authority you are squeeking at. And the politics of the moment.
Such as here. Years ago, the squeek got grease, now, any dissention, for most any reason gets you locked, then, if you continue to squeek, you get greased, I mean tombstoned.

4. Exactly, some squeeeeks are too irritating to consider fixing.

I had an old 1966 International 3/4 ton truck.

That truck rattlettled, Klanked, squeeeeeeaked and generally let me know that the fenders, springs and box were still there. It was quite comforting to know that, considering that due to rust those same parts could be falling off.

Politicians generally look at the other side of their base from where they are located the same way. What really worries them is when that goes silent, because soon there will be no more attendees at rallies, no more campaign contributions and worst...no more votes.

6. I've been a Labor Organizer
Dealt with Discrimination in the workplace on all levels
sometimes you can get more done with vinegar than honey
and then sometime honey is better than vinegar.

My vinegar, got more things done
though my honey is always there.

I guess I have a PH imbalance.
