Here in uptown New Rat City, rats are well fed and on garbage nights, look out! I stamp my feet to scare them away as I come up the block. Another great story!
oy. it's been enforced where we live already...for a year or more? don't remember. no, plastic bags are not accepted, not in our city(cities each have slightly different policy)-otherwise very similar.
and very idiotic.
flies everywhere now, wild life behaves as if a perennial holiday, starting with rats....neighbors giving advice on how better to deal and to comply and some make their own compost already.
I’m laughing … to keep from crying. I care about the planet but all these regulations are a pain and a burden — and would have very little impact even if everyone followed them. Which they won’t.

As a writer I particularly enjoyed the breaking up the copy and changing the font part.
Breaking up the copy and varying the font, Mais oui! You are brilliant as always!
This made me spit out my late afternoon coffee!🤣

God help us; the rats downtown are equally pea brained and even more determined 😬
lol. Love this!
Hilarious! Thank you Joyce!
I'm looking forward to the denouement!
Excellent! I saw this as an animated cartoon in my brain’s eye. Those sneaky rats.
Thank you, Aaron. The Substack AI has put me in touch with my inner cartoonist.
Hysterical. Sorry to say, it rings true.
I was the crazy lady on the train alone and laughing out loud at this! thanks!! 😂
Other cities do food waste disposal - with a once a week pickup in lidded plastic buckets. Seems to work.....
But then, I'm not a rat!!! :)
Once a week pickup won't work -- they'll be smelling Manhattan in Jersey.
