If they don’t deliver mail to the dangerous neighborhoods how will the folks in Oakland get their welfare checks?
Checks? It ain’t 1985.
They don’t mail “welfare” checks any longer. In fact, that’s probably one reason letter carriers are now legitimate targets, as it were. In the days of yore, the locals took a dim view of killing the mailman, because he was the one that delivered those “benefits”.
It’s all direct deposit onto EBT cards.
They get their grocery, rent and spending money deposited straight to the card every month. No stigma attached.
