Stood up at the mic and popped out this great tune: lyrics, melody, falsetto, bridge, rap, voiceover and more. Engineered by his fabulous dad, Benny Steele. Check him out as well on soundcloud and do share with friends. He is an unusual, talented child.

United States Postal Service - Raped by 11238
United States Postal Service: Be advised. I am likely the last person to know, but I have been totally raped by 11238 today and I want to share. No wonder the large bureaucracies in this country are so deplorable.
If you pay for a flat rate mailing box (in my case $10.94), and you do not pay for the $.0.70 tracking advantage, the postal service can do anything they want with your parcel if they want to. Ms. Thomas at the internal Division of Consumer Affairs within the postal service in New York says:
USPS is not responsible at all if you didn't pay for tracking.
USPS will not pay a refund for your shipping costs if a parcel is 'lost'.
USPS is not responsible if tenants on the receiving end don't get to the door in time to receive parcel. The driver only has to ring the bell and run.
USPS is authorized to return a parcel to the sender if it is not picked up within 30 days, but if they don't, they have no responsibilty to and without tracking they can't tell you how it evaporated.
USPS cannot tell you if a parcel is still in the postal office if you had more than one name on the address. Multiple recipients are no good.
Ergo, any parcel that comes into the post office that has no tracking number, is fair game for the employees to do with as they wish, because they are exempt from being responsible for the delivery, although Federal Law says otherwise.
I asked Ms. Thompson what happens if she fields multiple complaints from people such as I, about the same postal zip code office that is deliquent and has some suspicious losses accruing. The answer is that she does nothing. She keeps no statistics on a zip code center that has multiple complaints. So although she works for the Division of Consumer Affairs within the postal service, and that division is responsible for oversight and consumer controls, she has no responsiblity to do anything about any mail without tracking numbers.
I read the Federal Law. By definition, postal workers are responsible for the mail, but without a tracking number, I suppose they are not.
If I were a disgruntled postal worker, I could destroy, eat, use, wear or resell, any package that came in without a tracking number and Ms. Thomas in her capacity as overseer and controller would do nothing.
And we wonder about bureaucratic inefficiency? I suppose there is no higher authority. The Federal Law is clear. The usefulness of the tracking application is very clear. Organization takes money, destroys parcel, keep contents, free of prosecution.
I get it.
