A feeding-ground lockdown is driving New York City’s infamously resilient rodents to acts of war.
“It’s just like we’ve seen in the history of mankind, where people try to take over lands . . . and fight to the death, literally, for who’s going to conquer that land,” Bobby Corrigan, a rodentologist who specializes in urban vermin, told NBC News. “A new ‘army’ of rats comes in, and whichever army has the strongest rats is going to conquer that area. When you’re really, really hungry, you’re not going to act the same — you’re going to act very bad, usually.”
More than 525,500 Americans have tested positive for COVID-19, resulting in some 20,000 casualties, according to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 have forced the closure of 1 in 4 small businesses across the country, the US Chamber of Commerce reported last week, with another 40 percent planning to shut down within the next two weeks.

I saw this headline earlier, I thought for sure it was a political story at first.
“... closure of 1 in 4 small businesses across the country, the US Chamber of Commerce reported last week, with another 40 percent planning to shut down within the next two weeks....”
Holy crap!
At first I thought it was about De Blasio and his New York gang.
My money’s on Willard. He’s got that urban vermin biz down to a science. He’s extra mean to his own kind.
Me too. I immediately assumed it was about Democrats. Then I saw that it was written by NBC and I felt disappointed.
The RATS in DC are feasting.
Why this says New York Post and the same headline I saw was NBC, I don’t know.
They will come into homeless encampments and into the suburbs.
“”Starving rats are resorting to war and cannibalism””
I think the title writer forgot the apostrophe in front of the word ‘rats’
DomocRATS, lol
Back in the late 60’s NYC ran a PSA saying “your best defense against rats is a garbage can with the lid on. Starve a rat today!”
This is a “living metaphor” for how the demonrats are going to have to behave to survive going forward. Their plans to shutdown the economy in order to prevent Trump’s re-election are going to have some nasty side effects. For instance, Dartmouth has reportedly lost 83 million dollars already.
How do they make this up without increasing tuition, terminating some faculty and administrators, and/or freezing income of low level, perhaps unionized, janitors and cooks? They are going to have to eat their own. And they are not alone.
Wait. I thought this was going to be about the mass media
Are we going to get some kind of super villain rats terrorizing and trying to eat humans in NYC?
This would be a good opportunity to scatter rat poison in rat infested areas and start a feeding frenzy.
I’ll take Ben and give odds.
Good. Maybe their numbers will be cut down.
Nooooooo!!!! Pizza Raaaaatttttt!!!
With any luck. the census will record the demographic shift and the most populous states will lose seats in Congress.
