Quite a tangent. I was addressing your statement that it seems like everyone in the city gets EBT cards. But troll away. Us dummy Detroiters will jus' use are bridge cards and buy pop, chips and cadillacs.

Since you cited statistics: Can you supply the number/percent of Detroiters that receive EBT cards? Can you also compare it to rural communities?
