☆ NYC's rat czar says stop feeding the pigeons if you want the vermin gone
  + stars: | 2024-04-15 | by ( Paul Squire | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
NYC's rat czar is waging war on the city's vermin. AdvertisementIf New York City wants to kick its rats to the curb, it may need to change a time-honored tradition: feeding the pigeons. In a profile by New York Magazine, the city's so-called "rat czar," Kathleen Corradi, detailed how the city has been fighting its rat problem. Leftover crumbs end up becoming impromptu meals for nearby rats, Corradi told New York Magazine. "We're a big part of the problem when it comes to sustaining rat populations in the city," Corradi told the magazine.

☆ New York has tried poison, traps, and birth control to fix its pest problem. Rat researchers say the city should focus on its people instead.

New York City has a pest problem so prolific, the mayor hired a dedicated rat czar earlier this year. Previous efforts to reduce the rat problem include brutal traps, poison, and birth control bait. The city has historically focused on population control methods, including brutal spring traps and hazardous poisons to keep the pests at bay. AdvertisementAdvertisementParsons previously told Insider the "real city rats" are "the men and women of bureaucracy and their two-and-a-half centuries of bad practice." To really have fewer rats, New York norms of takeout and eating outside would have to change."

☆ Eric Adams Has the Chance to End the Forever War on Rats - The New York Times

Mayor Eric Adams of New York, who often uses public appearances to reiterate that he “hates” rats, hired a rat czar this year dedicated to exterminating them. As rat hater in chief, Mr. Adams has continued the long “war on rats” that New York City mayors have waged for decades, with limited success. I’m an urban ecologist who’s studied New York City rats for 12 years, and I can say that the way the city and its residents have tried to exterminate rats, through traps and poisons, has been both ineffective and unnecessarily brutal. Today’s New York still has filthy streets, plus population density and aging infrastructure, making it a perfect home for its rats. City agencies have heavily relied on using rat poison; in 2021 alone, they applied over 60,000 pounds of rodenticide poisons.

☆ New York City Has Two Million Rats and One New Rat Czar

Kathleen Corradi ’s anti-rat bona fides date to grade school, when she organized a petition drive to have her Long Island town do something about an infestation behind her house. Now, she has been crowned New York City’s rat czar. The 34-year-old beat out 900 other applicants for a position that, the job posting said, requires a “swashbuckling attitude, crafty humor, and general aura of badassery.” Mayor Eric Adams , who announced it last week, has been vocal about his hatred of a rodent thought to number around two million in New York.
☆ New York's 'rat czar' will only succeed if she realizes that rats are not the 'enemy,' an expert says

The former schoolteacher, who's become New York's "rat czar," may face an uphill battle to succeed. An urban-rat expert said Kathleen Corradi must realize rats are not the "enemy." "The 'real city rats' are the men and women of bureaucracy," Michael Parsons told Insider. The 'real rats' of New York CityCorradi's task comes after residents reported almost 3.2 million rat sightings last year to the city's 311 service-request line. Parsons said that the rat czar may face an uphill battle not because of the rodents, "but instead due to the 'real city rats' — the men and women of bureaucracy and their two-and-a-half centuries of bad practice."
☆ As NYC's first-ever rat czar gets to work, cities like Boston and Chicago are looking for inspiration to fix their own rodent problems

New York City Mayor Eric Adams appointed a "rat czar" to help eliminate rodents in the city. One Boston city official says the Massachusetts city should follow suit and hire a rat slayer of their own. Days later, Boston City Council President Ed Flynn recommended the Massachusetts city hire someone in a similar position ""to hopefully one day eliminate rats in Boston," the Boston Herald reported. In 2022, Chicago was named the number one "rattiest" city in the US over both New York City and Boston. "You can hear them screaming — ee, ee, ee, ee!"
☆ JPMorgan just killed Wall Street's WFH dreams

But do you think execs will be OK with their subordinates working remote while they are stuck in the office? Plenty of others, most notably Goldman Sachs' David Solomon, have touted the importance of being in the office (blah blah mentorship model blah blah). Now JPMorgan just laid the blueprint for everyone else to force their own employees back in. Here are more details, including the internal memo, on JPMorgan forcing MDs back into the office. Salt Labs wants to help low- and medium-income workers build wealth via an app that operates like a frequent-flyer program.

REUTERS/Carlo Allegri/File PhotoApril 12 (Reuters) - New York City's unending war on rats has a new commanding general. Mayor Eric Adams on Wednesday announced that Kathleen Corradi, an education department employee, has been appointed New York’s first-ever "rat czar," part of Adams’ effort to combat a growing rodent population in the county’s most populous city. She previously oversaw rat mitigation efforts in the city’s public schools. The size of the city’s rat population is unknown.
