You gotta hand it to rats: they are relentless, resilient, and radical.
Imagine if you and your family lived in a city where all of the residents wanted you dead; where every single chance they had they tried to kill you; where they even hired professional killers to work full time to try to exterminate you.
How well do you think you and your family would do?
Rats are in that exact situation, and they are doing just fine.
This picture is in a restaurant, in a bar area that was in disuse for some time. When I went back there to inspect (because you have to inspect everywhere, literally, if you want to be successful as a Pest Management Professional), I found that the rats had made themselves quite an elaborate burrow system right under the bar, and had dug in and gnawed the flooring material right into nesting material.
As you can see, they also had some nice man made holes they could use to travel through the walls.
No one is better at survival than rats, mice, cockroaches, flies, bedbugs, mosquitoes, and other "pests" that you and I hate. (Well, I myself don't really hate them, but that's another story.)
One thing we learn from this is that one man's trash (or neglected piece of property) is another creature's treasure (in this case, a bar has become an apartment building for rats).
Learn from your enemy so that you might not be destroyed. Don't look at things the same way. Look with the eyes of a rat. Become a rat. Accept that you are a rat, and you will survive in these dark days of the pre-Apocalypse.
Man I need some sleep.
(and sorry about the overuse of parentheses).
Ew York City will return soon.
