No one can deliver mail but the federal government.
Of course, the reason no one can deliver mail but the federal government is because the federal government passed a law saying so. Even so, if you ask someone if anyone else can do it, they'll probably tell you it just can't physically be done.
So, if you know someone who isn't getting mail because his address is declared undeliverable, what do you do? It isn't hard to see how that happened in this case. The person lives in a house at the back of the lot, and the house at the front of the lot burned. It isn't about to fall down. It's obvious no one is living there right now. But there was no damage at all to the house hidden back on the alley.
Should be easy to fix. Call them. Call the federal number--and get voice recognition software which, if it doesn't recognize your problem, hangs up on you. Send an email--and find out that, after filling in four pages of forms, the last page has no 'send' button, or if it does it's hidden under the banner at the bottom of the web page. No problem, just call the local substation and bypass the federal system--and hear the phone ring some thirty times and automatically hang up on you.
Next thing to try: Burn fossil fuels, create carbon emissions, pay for parking downtown, wait in line, and see if it can be taken care of in person.
Why do we turn things over to the federal government to do on their word that no one else can do them, when we have seen over and over that the federal government can't do that or anything else?
