Help wanted: New York City seeks 'badass' rat czar

The new job, posted earlier this week, is part of the city's attempt to curb an explosion in its rodent population since the pandemic began. Rat sightings on the streets, in subways and even homes have jumped 71% over in the past two years, according to the city's sanitation department. Sidewalk dining outside of restaurants - first allowed in 2020 as a temporary measure to help blunt economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, has been blamed in part for the rat explosion. The city is exploring ways to allow for permanent "streeteries."

Urban legend says there is one rat for each of New York City's 8.8 million residents. But a 2014 study showed the city likely had about 2 million rats. Actually, pest control company Orkin has said the U.S. city with the most rats is Chicago.

'O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are but children. There is no old doctrine handed down among you by ancient tradition nor any science which is hoary with age.' - Plato, Timaeus The Pied Piper of Hamelin played out in the Germanic town of Hamelin in 1284 inscribed in glass.

fully evolved !! natural selection

Use Crispr to engineer a group of 1000 rats that only produce female offspring. Introduce them into the population, Let natural selection reduce most, if not all, of their population. There are more rats in NYC than people and they have a 6-8ft vertical jump. Be safe out there.
