So nice to read some good news again in Medium. Enjoy Boston!

I’m a fan of your ‘Maine’ cats. I think we had a Maine cat in the past but didn’t know about the breed/type. I mean it was like a dog around us in so many ways. Possibly figured this out after reading about your cats earlier in the year.

Now, about the move and this ‘Blueground’ startup. Like other pandemic real estate startups trying to leverage the whole real estate bubble in everywhere USA. I think like so many businesses in the USA it’s all about sales (only!) and zero about service. Think mega-ISPs and their track records of customer service.

Another branch regarding these startups in the real estate industry that’s been in our local midwestern news lately, they are calling themselves so-called ‘movers’. When they make the news as having the worst kinds of customer service they try to deflect criticism and say things like, ‘actually we are moving “brokers”’. Even that explanation should be the reddest of red flags. So people have been waiting for weeks even more than a month wondering where all their belongings are at? They say anything when customers call and do not deliver a real arrival date as if they don’t really know where a customers stuff is to begin with. These startups that handle people’s moves they treat their customer services like some kind of short term NFT to suck cash from on a monthly basis. No real products, certainly NO service, (are you kidding?!) Just startup speculators making a buck on a real estate bubble and artificially pumping up prices with rosy marketing talk to suck in the long green. Think of them as pandemic profiteers gouging customers. As always, Mericka!

Again, enjoy Boston, and start working on your Bahstun Accents.:-)
