I don't like referring to them as rats, but that is certainly how they are treated.

I’m talking about literal rats. Rodents. Way back when, when tall ships were damaged to the point of sinking, the rats that lived in holds would scatter to the upper decks. Comparably, the lower classes and “poors” are usually the first to exhibit the symptoms of a failed economy.

I agree

Again, it’s not to think of people as rats- it’s to compare the similarity of the situation between.

Yeah, for real. We're unimportant poor and disabled people. Not rats...

Except the ones that are rats. And they're probably adorable.
