    The word “rat” has such negative connotations. They are actually intelligent, curious and resourceful little critters.

    Incidentally, the same thing happened with Russia. When Putin started tightening his grip around the throat of his people, many people decided to go. Among them, were many smart and educated people who could find a job elsewhere.

      Absolutely. So the financially able and smart leave a sinking ship. Rats.

        We should really come up with better allegory for that. More like owls flying away from a falling tree. Would cause less controversy.
