Non si sa ancora il motivo dell’omicidio di Brian Thompson, l’AD della United Health Care, freddato a Manhattan, ma la reazione delle moltitudini che sui social hanno celebrato l’omicidio rivela comunque la verità che, in cuor loro, milioni di Americani hanno sognato una vendetta simile.
Di tutte le anonime e inappellabili forze che governano la vita quotidiana degli Americani, la sanità commerciale è quella che infligge costanti tormenti e sofferenze e le ingiustizie più crudeli ai cittadini inermi. In particolare, lo sono le assicurazioni mediche, un settore industriale da 4000 miliardi l’anno il cui business model consiste nel riscuotere esosi premi da clienti-ostaggio e successivamente minimizzare i servizi erogati traendo dalla differenza utili da capogiro (Per la United, $371 miliardi nel 2023).
Negli Stati uniti la sanità è del tutto asservita sul mercato privato, controllato da Big Pharma e Big Insurance (cui è del tutto assoggettata la professione medica). Il risultato è la colossale inefficienza di un sistema che deve tener conto di quei profitti (in USA la spesa sanitaria procapite ammonta a più di $12000 – il doppio dei $6000 di altri paesi industrializzati) a fronte di risultati e. aspettativa di vita inferiori. Il catalogo delle vessazioni ed angherie inflitte ai “clienti” per massimizzare i guadagni è praticamente un genere letterario a se.
Poco dopo essermi traferito in California, da studente, ho contratto una meningite virale. Recatomi al locale pronto soccorso, un esame ha confermato la diagnosi e il medico mi ha detto che, data la gravità, si imponeva un ricovero immediato. All’apprendere che non ero assicurato, però mi ha comunicato che non c’era nulla che potesse fare per me e mi ha dimesso con un paio di compresse analgesiche (12 ore dopo ero sotto tenda a ossigeno in un ospedale statale, tenuto per legge a somministrare cure.) La lezione sulla locale concezione sanitaria, si è completata con le bollette da molte migliaia di dollari arrivate in seguito (con minacce di pignoramento), non solo dall’ospedale curante, ma da quello che mi aveva messo alla porta.
Una goccia nel mare u in un mare di malasanità governata da algoritmi aziendali e anonimi funzionari col mandato di negare i benefici promessi dai contratti assicurativi. Chiedete ad una Americano per strada e saprà snocciolare una litania di aneddoti horror. Partorienti dimesse il giorno della nascita per carenza di assicurazione. Decine di migliaia di dollari fatturati per visite al pronto soccorso. Cure negate perché procedure essenziali vengono dichiarate “elettive” dagli assicuratori o “eccessive” (compreso, in caso di anziani, perché “è stata già raggiunta la logica aspettativa di vita”). Ogni anno 650000 americani dichiarano bancarotta per spese mediche. Solo questa settimana ha fatto notizia l’annuncio del colosso assicurativo Anthem: avrebbe continuato a rimborsare le anestesie chirurgiche ma “per un numero limitato di minuti.”
In questo quadro fa ridere l’idea che gli immigrati vengano in America “per approfittare della sanità pubblica.” Sono giustificati semmai gli avvertimenti dei consolati che consigliano ai turisti di premunirsi prima di visitare un paese dove un osso ingessato ti può rimandare a casa con debiti per decine di migliaia di dollari.
È il mercato bellezza. Se non vuoi perdere alla roulette non entrare nel casinò.
Non c’è da sorprendersi allora che alla notizia dell’omicidio, così tanti Americani abbiano avuto lo stesso pensiero, maturato in anni di paura e disgusto e notti in bianco passate a pensare come poteri permettersi d salvare la pelle mentre gli assicuratori brindavano.
Quando è stato ucciso Thompson si apprestava a brindare con gli azionisti un altro trimestre di stratosferici fatturati sulla pelle degli “assistiti.”
Al di là dei motivi che potranno venire acclarati, il gesto violento di Manhattan ha immediatamente assunto riflessi di lotta di classe - o delle forme patologiche che ne hanno preso il posto nella distopia ballardiana in cui viviamo. In attesa che si insedi un governo di diretta proprietà delle corporation e dei miliardari che le gestiscono. Luca Celada, Facebook

to attracts/retain students, it seems like smaller colleges (2 year and 4 year alike) are trying to go all-in on like... job training and certification. and while that’s noble and practical and all i also think it misses out on opportunities to do more interesting things. it doesn’t need to be like, Degree to Get You A Job With Health Insurance on the one hand and From Chaucer to Che: The Poetics of Revolution. i think there are other options!
taking a place like erie, PA for example, it’s the sort of place where people born there aren’t necessarily loo king to stick around so you get a bit of regional brain drain. but i wonder whether you could make use of the place and create opportunities for people to learn about the places where they’ve grown up. it would take some logistical/curricular changes, but i imagine there would be some interest--if only because people might like the opportunity to understand how the Good Jobs were created and why they no longer exist. but the only way to find out is if you create that opportunity

How the Heart Learns to Beat Again
Chapter 2 Preview:
Emilie flung open the wardrobe doors. There was the loud sound of someone opening a suitcase and ploughing through it. She shut the door, a hairbrush in hand, and pulled up a chair at the table. Seated beside Nathalie, she began brushing out her wet hair. The movement of her arm was mesmeric. Gabriel poured her a glass of wine, then sat with them.
‘I don’t suppose you’ve told her why we’re here,’ Emilie said.
Gabriel shook his head and handed her the glass. ‘I thought you’d want to do it together.’
‘I do.’ She took a long sip of the wine, then leaned back in the chair, closing her eyes a moment before opening them and pinning that green stare on their guest. ‘I suppose you’re wondering why a pair like us travelled all the way from Paris just to hunt you down.’
‘It…had crossed my mind,’ Nathalie said. ‘I assume this is some sort of fetish job. A wealthy couple who can get anything they want – sights set on some rare artefact to keep in your personal collection and insure for more than most people would spend in an entire lifetime.’
Another look was exchanged, telling her she was wrong. Whatever they wanted, it wasn’t about the money. She thought back to what Emilie had said about a phone call. In this weather, there was no mobile reception. The only phone in the hotel was an old-fashioned payphone downstairs, outside the entrance. You had to be desperate to use it at a time like this.
Who is Adrien?
Emilie’s gaze was lazy and…seductive? Was that the right word for it? It wasn’t that Nathalie wanted to sleep with her, but there was something persuasive about that look. Something that made her want to give into whatever Emilie suggested.
She glanced back at the girdle, still on the table.
‘We don’t seek more riches,’ Emilie said. ‘We’re not interested in fame or notoriety, either. And this isn’t thrill-seeking. We also don’t wish to become gods, so please, I beg of you: put all such preconceptions out of your mind when I explain what we’re looking for.’
She caressed the rim of her wine glass, eyeing Nathalie under her long, thick eyelashes. As dominating as Gabriel was, Emilie seemed to hold the power here.
‘…okay,’ said Nathalie, hypnotised by the motion of the woman’s finger. ‘What do you seek?’
‘Initially? Immortality – but not for us.’
Nathalie stifled back a laugh. ‘That’s it? Immortality?’
‘But not for us,’ Emilie repeated. ‘Failing that…the power to overcome death. And failing that…the power to undo death.’
‘Oh, of course. Because no human has ever tried for any of that and failed in the most morbid way imaginable.’
‘But we won’t fail,’ Emilie said. There was not the slightest trace of doubt in her voice, not a tremor or pause. She held herself with such poise, as well, her chin up high. Her confidence was a magnetic field reaching out and grabbing Nathalie until she believed they would succeed. If anyone could, it would be them and only them.
‘Who’s dying? Is it Adrien?’ she asked, satisfied when she heard Gabriel’s sharp intake of breath.
But Emilie never wavered. ‘I knew we couldn’t pull one over on you.’ She rewarded Nathalie with a smile, and hell, if that didn’t make something in Nathalie’s chest open, as though she had never known how to breathe until now. ‘You are correct. Adrien – our son – has been diagnosed with a rare blood disease. The doctors say we only have a handful of months left with him.’
‘And you’re spending them here with me, instead of savouring every precious moment you have left with your child?’
It was Gabriel who replied – snapped, more like, his blue eyes suddenly like ice, freezing her on the spot. ‘We are not abandoning our child, if that’s what you mean. Until you have sat at your child’s bedside, watching him waste away a little more each day, powerless in the face of biology, you know nothing of what we have gone through. We are not wasting time. We were wasting time by remaining with him and doing nothing.’
He was breathing hard, his chest heaving and hands trembling around his glass, which he now set down, perhaps worried he might throw it across the room and smash it against a wall – or maybe throw it at her. His stare remained on her, locking her in her chair and sealing her throat from bringing up any words of reply.
And yet, he was beautiful in his rage. Somewhere in the world, her father may still be out there, feeling nothing of what Gabriel felt for his child. Once, she’d had a mother who felt none of this, either.
Keep reading at Ao3
After years of adventuring, recovering lost mythical treasures from every ancient culture ever known, Nathalie meets the man and woman who will change her life forever. A backstory covering the recovery of the miraculous, Adrien’s creation, Emilie’s passing, and Nathalie’s point of view on the events of the show.

Rail traffic came to a complete halt in Finland on Monday, following the failure of last-minute negotiations to settle the labour dispute between the railway workers' union RAU and the state railway operator VR.
As Helsingin Sanomat reports (siirryt toiseen palveluun), the strike completely stopped local train traffic as well.
The strike does not however affect metro drivers, so Helsinki's metro is running as normally. The same goes for buses, trams and the Suomenlinna ferry.
Tuija Ruoho of the Helsinki Regional Transport Authority (HSL) told the paper that the HSL website provides tips on how to find a replacement connection, including a list of buses that run from train stations to the centre of the city.
The director of passenger and operator services for the nationwide Matkahuolto bus transport company, Anu Pekurinen, said on Friday that the operator had not as yet decided whether additional buses would be provided during the rail strike.
Petteri Rantala, commercial director of Onnibus, one of Finland's largest long-distance transport operators, told HS that the company does not have the human resources to organize extra shifts for drivers.
Late Sunday, authorities reminded commuters that not all traffic on the rail network has stopped due to the strike. Maintenance and track work is continuing on the rail network as normal, so drivers should still take care and watch out for trains at level crossings.
Three families and a cat
Late last year, Finland offered to take in 100 Ukrainian refugees from Estonia per week.
Iltalehti tells readers (siirryt toiseen palveluun) that moving from Estonia to Finland has however not interested Ukrainian refugees at all. IL writes that over the last two months, only three Ukrainian families and one cat have resettled to Finland from Estonia.
Liis Paloots, head of the Estonian Social Insurance Board's immigration service, says that the reason for Ukrainian refugees' reluctance to move to Finland may be that refugees are placed in reception centres in Finland.
"These people would be bound to the reception centre for 12 months. Estonia, on the other hand, has prioritized the fact that people become independent as soon as possible. This includes the right to various benefits to facilitate the search for a permanent place of residence when a person has received a residence permit, instead of living in reception centres or other places provided by the state," Paloots told the Estonian public broadcaster ERR.
Refugees who have arrived in Estonia and have not yet applied for international protection are offered the opportunity to move to Finland, but there has been almost no interest in making the move.
"People rather say that they came to Estonia because they have relatives, friends or acquaintances here. Recently, we have also been told that many people have a job waiting," Paloots added.
The number of Ukrainians applying for international protection in Estonia, has stabilized at around 200 applications per week, Iltalehti reports.
Light-fingered shoppers
Ilta-Sanomat writes (siirryt toiseen palveluun)that the number of incidents of shoplifting in Finland began to show a rise at the end of the last decade, with around 50,000 cases reported to the police in 2020.
According to Statistics Finland's most recent crime statistics, most shoplifting takes place in the province of Uusimaa, including the capital region, where approximately 20,000 shoplifting reports are made to the police per year.
Stores have implemented special arrangements for certain products to deter shoplifting. For example, the Lidl retail chain says that in some of its stores products have been shifted from the shelves to checkout counters. These products vary by store, but include, for example, vitamins, parmesan cheese, alcoholic beverages and razor blades.
Some anti-theft measures go to extremes. Petri Miettinen, director of Tripla Mall's K-Market and K-Supermarket stores, says that it was decided to completely remove large instant coffee refills.
"More of them were stolen than sold," Miettinen notes, adding that thieves are interested in more valuable products for which there is a secondary market. In addition, some goods are stolen for personal use.
When asked by Ilta-Sanomat what more unusual items items interest shoplifters, Miettinen answered without a moment's hesitation.
"Baby oil. Our loss is really, really, really high. To this day, I haven't figured out what it's being used for, but I have a hard time imagining it going into normal use."
Campaign vandals
The farmers' union paper Maaseudun Tulevaisuus (siirryt toiseen palveluun)reports that campaign posters promoting candidates in the 2 April parliamentary election have been the target of vandalism around the country.
The paper says that Finns Party posters were torn down in front of the City Hall in Tampere. Vandals have also targeted election ads of the SDP and the Greens in Ylöjärvi, in the Pirkanmaa region, and in North Savo roadside billboards for the campaign of a NCP candidate were riddled by airgun pellets. Similar vandalism has also been reported in Seinäjoki and Riihimäki.
The paper also reports that a campaign event by Centre Party candidate Mikko Kärnä was disrupted in central Helsinki by social media video producers posing as anti-vaccine citizen journalists.
Spring still being coy
Looking at the weather this coming week, Hufvudstadsbladet (siirryt toiseen palveluun)writes that temperatures are forecast to be somewhat warmer than the average for the time of year, but it doesn't look like the trend will last long.
The week will bring rain, sleet or snow and night frosts.
The paper quotes FMI meteorologist Juha Tuomala as saying that the thermal spring will be late this year. That is when the average daily temperature is above freezing for one week straight.

Oggi, Piazza Affari sta tentando di recuperare dopo i forti cali di venerdì dovuti alle tensioni sui titoli bancari su scala globale. Gli investitori stanno cercando di riacquistare fiducia in un settore pesantemente colpito dalla paura di un rischio sistemico dopo i casi di Svb e Credit Suisse, che hanno visto anche Deutsche Bank crollare in borsa. Tuttavia, il titolo dell'istituto tedesco è aperto con un rally del 5% a Francoforte, incoraggiando gli acquisti su tutte le banche europee. Anche la notizia che First Citizens BancShares acquisirà tutti i depositi e gli impieghi di Silicon Valley Bank dalla Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ha aiutato ad allentare le tensioni sul settore. Questa settimana sarà ricca di appuntamenti sul fronte macro, con la pubblicazione di vari indicatori di fiducia e i dati sull'inflazione europea previsti per venerdì. L'indice FTSE Mib è in rialzo dello 0,7% intorno alle 9,40, dopo un balzo fino all'1,8% nelle prime battute. Il settore bancario italiano è in rialzo dello 0,4%, ma UniCredit e Intesa San Paolo frenano i rialzi allo 0,5% circa. Anche Banco Bpm e Mps annullano gli iniziali rialzi. In vista dell'assemblea sul rinnovo del Cda dell'istituto senese, il Tesoro ha definito nel weekend il tandem per guidare la banca a controllo pubblico nella prossima fase, confermando l'AD Luigi Lovaglio a poco più di un anno dal suo arrivo e affidando la presidenza a Nicola Maione. Perfino Fineco Bank azzera gli iniziali rialzi incoraggiati dall'avvio della copertura sul titolo con 'overweight' da parte di Morgan Stanley. Gli acquisti si stanno invece intensificando sui titoli del settore industriale, automotive ed energia, con Prysmian in rialzo del 2,4%, Iveco e Cnh dell'1%, e Snam dell'1,2%. #piazzaaffari #finanza #banche Investite con criterio. @ridinvestment https://www.instagram.com/p/CqSmQQXt6rk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What kind
of cancer treatment is given to a cow?
Che-moo-therapy!
Pierre Trudeau was an avid supporter of universal government-insured healthcare, before and during his premiership. He paved the way for the legalization of abortion, both with his partial decriminalization of it as Minister of Justice and Attorney General and with his authoring of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which was interpreted by the Supreme Court of Canada as absolutely protecting abortions. In a time when the Canadian deepstate looms and menaces, having a politician like Pierre who supports personal liberties and individual freedoms is important.

Had to be one. Just a list of typical days, with side notes on extra events/
Life here really is a routine, with little variation. All systems at Casa dan work, or are fixed promptly, so there,s no need to rearrange life to fix whatever is broken next as at home.
Awake at 6:30(full light), roll out ,hot water on, brush up,make coffee,gulp hot and get out for a walk before the heat.Usually it,s beach walk with a return along Calle Morro, the front street. Wave watch, pick beach trash plastic, and home up a side alley and steep stairs to the lookout benches. Not much of a view since the acacia tree has grown up in the center of the viewscape. Amusingly the same young squirrel is always eating the acacia seeds, hanging up side down to avoid the falling crumbs .It,s hot by 9 am, especially as i do climb the stairs/road non stop for a bit of cardio.
Breakfast, grapefruit, granola, yogurt, and fruit juice, same every day. Listen to BBCnews, read the mail, and choose a book. The extensive library has lots of new books but i often see some interesting title, only to discover that I read it last year. Hammocks make good reading spots , allowing impromptue naps.
At least once a week it,s shopping, either super Che department store or my favorito tienda, best quality, best prices. Access by a bus up Oaxaca Avenue, of walk up through the main market. 30 pounds of fruit! Tangerines, bananas, watermelon, papaya, vegies like potatoes(crispy, water filled, tasteless), onions ,peppers, tomatoes(uniform size/shape/lack of flavour),grapefruit, and odd bits like grapes(Chile), lichee, and whatever looks good. With Christmas coming and the ensuing run on cash machines I,m stocking up on Pesos for Januarys rent and running expense. There,s a cash machine(Santander bank) which dispenses 11000 pesos at a wack, but all machines give an exchange rate at least 5% below published rates, raking in a tidy profit. Credit cards cost 5% to use and still give the low rate, so it pays to pull out cash.The books were looking good until the travel insurance company finally posted their bill and the annual credit card fee came due. Walking down to the combi stop I saw a hole in the wall (lit) stand run by an ancient campesino and his ever eating wife. Crumbling camper for storage, from whence he produced a lump of Copal, fresh off the tree, and some local very dark honey. Once I ask in Spanish I get a detailed answer half of which is incomprehensible slang and accent. Some thing about organic watermelon..But my bags were already overloaded. Home by combi, an increasing number of which are city vans going to uphill neighbourhoods, much more comfortable and safely driven. There,s always the last shlep down the backstreet to Casa dan, and a grateful sigh upon dropping the overloaded bags. Fridge is full, freezer overflowing, who knew I ate so much?!
Lately lunch is an overflowing plate of salad, typically chopped romaine lettuce, skinned diced tomatoes, red pepper chopped fine, sprouts, avocado and a slobber of mayonaise. Filling, non fattening, healthy in as much as all this inorganic produce can be.
Work over it,s time for a swim in the ever cooling pool. Temp drops 1 degree a week. Down to 25, which feels cold enough for a rash guard shirt and some pretty fast laps. Hot shower, laundry, back to the hammock, book and siesta. Neighbours drop by with news(gossip) and books. Hot tip this week was that the Split Coconut bar (50 happy gringo drinkers all glad handing old pals.) had Ned Flanders live. Solo guitar, think Jimmy buffet doing covers with enthusiasm. I went down and into the pallet fenced area open to the beach with lots of shade. Here were Jimmy and Tracy , my buddys from the Yurimar dump hotel. They are moving next month to a much nicer and quieter place. Tracy is as bubbly as ever,(fueled by booze) and Jimmy is still slaying the fish,having just returned from a morning where they caught 2 sailfish, a big marlin, some dorado and a bunch of barellitos. They released the game fish. Rumours have Russian trawlers netting all the tuna and delivering to a factory freezer ship. We exchanged brief summarys of the past 8 months and agreed to go fishing next Friday. It,s my $100 Christmas gift to myself, with a chance of a load of fresh fish to eat.
Sunset up on the terraza with the local inmates, more gossip, news, and usually a spectacular sunset, Green flash or salmon bright ripples across the high clouds. The growing moon is a sliver in the west, flanked by Venus. and only the evening mosquitoe rise drives us down stairs to screened safety. There is dengue in Puerto, with some locals getting it twice. My bed net, bug zapper, and repellant spray are essential. I never want dengue again!
So that,s the intown stuff. I,ve been to Playa manzanillo weekly for snorkeling in warm water, and twice to Agua blanca way outof town for the authentic empty beach walk/palalpa shade /beach food experience. It,s a half hour on the bus and another half hour walk in. The tidal dipping pool has filled with sand during the last hurricane so I did swim on the west beach before the surf came up. Bit of body surfing, mostly just wave thrashing in the foam., I forgot my super water bottle first trip out but the ever helpful Casa dan receptionist tried the phone number and had the same lack of success I,d had(wasting my carefully rehearsed Spanish speech) but got them on facebook and they had the bottle. Back out , retrieved bottle and had a bonus beach day. Only odd note was I ordered Hueuvos rancheros (scrambled eggs with onions tomatoes and garlic) and got a slop of beans,and 3 deep fried eggs swimming in grease. Urp! It,s a hotter walk back out to the highway in the afternoon, but there is some tree shade and the sea breeze for cooling pauses. Always enjoyable to ride the clanking, rattling old busses, picking up and dropping off shoppers, school kids and old country women. True the driver does try to achieve escape velocity and somewhere finds a few extra top gears, but don't look ahead.
Only other note is that I,m sending pictures of local flowers to 4 women back home to cheer them up as winter descends Even I,m impressed with how many varied types and colours there are. A month of daily pics and still more to see. So that,s the report and I hope to have some more exciting news or at least some events to note. Surf competition was a bust with 6 meter waves one day and 1 meter the next, hardly fair. Next week is body boards and the stands are being built down at the beach crest, Will they have another big music blowout? Ranchero? Yippee!!

Exploring Morocco by Road: Everything You Need to Know About Car Rentals
Traveling through Morocco offers a mesmerizing journey through bustling souks, majestic mountains, serene beaches, and sprawling deserts. To truly experience Morocco's diverse beauty at your own pace, renting a car can be the best choice. In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about renting a car in Morocco, including essential tips, must-have documents, the rental process, and how to make the most of your rental car.
Why Rent a Car in Morocco?
Renting a car in Morocco provides a unique advantage, especially for travelers looking to explore beyond the main cities. Public transportation is available, but with a rental car, you have the freedom to create your own itinerary. You can drive through the dramatic landscapes of the Atlas Mountains, visit remote villages, and experience the country’s hidden gems. Whether you're visiting the busy streets of Marrakech, the coastal city of Essaouira, or the vast Sahara Desert, a rental car can make the experience much more enjoyable.
Requirements for Renting a Car in Morocco

Finding the right movers and packers in Panchkula is crucial for a smooth relocation experience. Use this checklist to ensure that you hire the best movers for your upcoming move.
1. Check for Licensing and Registration
Verify the company’s license and registration with local authorities.
Confirm their credentials with the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) or relevant governing bodies.
Avoid unregistered movers to minimize the risk of fraud or poor service.
2. Get Recommendations and Read Reviews
Ask friends, family, and colleagues for recommendations based on their experiences.
Read online reviews on platforms such as Google, Yelp, and social media.
Look for consistent positive feedback about their services, timeliness, and professionalism.
3. Request In-Home Estimates
Schedule an in-home estimate where the movers assess your belongings in person.
Avoid companies that provide estimates over the phone without inspecting your items.
Ensure the estimate is detailed and includes the scope of services, with a clear cost breakdown.
4. Compare Multiple Quotes
Collect quotes from at least three different companies.
Ensure the pricing is transparent, with no hidden fees.
Choose a quote that offers value for money while meeting all your service requirements.
5. Check for Insurance Options
Confirm that the company offers insurance to cover damage or loss during the move.
Review the insurance options they provide and ensure the coverage is adequate for your belongings.
Ask about liability policies in case of accidental damage to property.
6. Evaluate Their Experience
Check how long the company has been in the moving industry.
Ask about their experience handling your type of move (residential, commercial, local, or long-distance).
Experienced movers are more likely to handle challenges efficiently.
7. Inspect Their Packing Materials and Equipment
Ask what kind of packing materials the company uses for fragile, valuable, and bulky items.
Verify that they use high-quality packing materials (bubble wrap, sturdy boxes, protective padding).
Check that they have the right equipment, such as dollies and ramps, for safely moving items.
8. Review Their Service Range
Ensure the company offers comprehensive services such as packing, loading, transportation, unloading, and unpacking.
Ask if they provide specialized services, such as handling fragile items, disassembling and reassembling furniture, or offering storage options.
Opt for a company that provides customized services based on your specific needs.

Request references from previous customers and speak with them directly about their experiences.
Look for companies with a strong track record of punctuality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction.
Avoid companies with frequent complaints or unresolved issues in reviews.

Test how responsive the company is to your inquiries.
Clear and prompt communication is a sign of good customer service.
Ensure they provide updates and stay in touch throughout the moving process.

If needed, ensure these services are included in the estimate.
