I’d like to give a shoutout to the republican House candidate who came and spoke to my high school class last year, for ending the session by saying, “Oh, and if any of you play Fortnite, here’s my gamer tag, so we can squad up.”
There are two positions of centralized power in New York city. The first is the position of Mayor of New York, traditionally held by a human. The second is the position of Rat-King of New York, traditionally held by a rat (though there was that time back in '76 when an orangutan briefly held the title). Every 4 years, both parties meet to discuss and update the terms of the Treaty of New York, signed in 1976 after the Third Rat Revolt devastated a portion of the subway system on the lower east side.
