New York City wants to hire a ‘rat czar’—and could pay them $170,000 per year
CNBC | 12/2/22 | Megan SauerThis week, the NYC Mayor’s Office posted a job listing for a “citywide director of rodent mitigation,” or as a city hall spokesperson dubbed it, “a rat czar.” The director, who will receive an annual salary between $120,000 and $170,000, will be expected to develop strategies, manage projects and lead teams against the city’s rodents.
The role’s listed requirements include a “background in urban planning” and a “virulent vehemence for vermin.”
“The ideal candidate is highly motivated and somewhat bloodthirsty, determined to look at all solutions from various angles, including improving operational efficiency, data collection, technology innovation, trash management, and wholesale slaughter,” the job posting added.

Establish department policies
#1: Nobody named Willard or Ben shall be employed by the department.
#2: No cheese sandwiches in anyone’s lunchbox.
#3: Everyone must keep either a cat or a terrier of some sort in their office, desk, or workspace.
#4: You can only listen to Sinatra, Martin, or Sammy Davis, Jr. music.
#5: Extort and steal as much as you can from landlords, but don’t you dare rat anybody out.
Raise their taxes, tell them they have to identfy by their pronouns and watch them move out to Florida….
start an afterschool BB Gun marksmanship class for inner city youth, ask Fauci if there might be some kind of virus we could get to gain some function to kill off all the rats, and impose term limits for all elected officials.
Too logical.

Like most officials of most big American cities I’d do as little as possible to resolve the problem. I’d conduct studies, lots and lots of studies. I’d hold a few news conferences, and when I did hold one it would be to request a bigger budget and a larger staff in order to resolve the problem. Oh, and of course I’d ask for a raise.
