First this is nothing new this kind of scams with moving has been going for a very long time. 

The first problem the military does not give people a whole lot of money to move so they look for the lowest cost company to move their stuff. Right there you know you are going to have problems. Most of these no name moving companies are shady at best. I have moved many times in my career and twice across the entire country and never had a single issue and had no damage. But I used United Van Lines every single time. They were not cheap but most times it was covered in a relocation package I negotiated, even if it wasn't I found ways to cut the costs such as packing most of our stuff and just have them load the truck.

I had person who work for me and we relocated them and gave nice relocation package. The person decided to go the cheap route and pocket some of the relocation money since we pay it in a lump sum. Well it ended up costing more than what was given to them. The moving company showed up right on time picking everything up, and it was on the delivery end where they pull all the scams. The move company first say the truck broke down, then had to move everything off that truck onto another truck at their warehouse, then could not find a crew to deliver it and it could be weeks before they could arrange delivery and the excuses stacked up. They final got the person to pay more to have the truck come to new house. When the truck showed up they refused to unload it unless the person paid more. The person who worked for me even had the police there when moving company arrived since they were afraid something like this would happen. Turns out the police said there was nothing they could do since no laws were broken all they could do was once the moving company was paid Cash they made sure the truck was unloaded. 

I will tell you either move yourself or hire one of the major moving companies, anything in the middle is going to be problems. It could be as simple as broken furniture or a loss items, to the major horror stories of all your stuff being stolen or held for ransom.

The other part of the problem is the Military does not help their own people. I think if a Military Brass called up this company and had few choose words with them they would be more than happy to make sure Military personal stuff showed up where it is needed and when it was needed.

“For too long, dominant technology companies have made it difficult for other businesses to compete in the digital marketplace by abusing their gatekeeper status to give themselves and their partners preferential treatment and access on their platforms," Apple is not the leading manufacturer of mobile phones. Consumers choose things based on many factors but I feel most iPhone users buy them because they simply work, providing a safe environment. Why do competitors feel they are owed access to things another company makes? It’s obvious these people have nothing to compete with Apple on so they try and litigate instead of providing a better product. 

Apple argument is from the view point of the App Store, nothing more. I would agree Apple produces the better mouse trap and competitors are trying to find any way including regulation to break the tight relationship Apple has with their customers. I would argue Apple solution is mostly good not bad for the consumer. However, this is more broad reaching and it going after facebook, google and such which do not necessary have the better mouse trap but controls how you use the mouse trap.

Everyone is coming at this from different directions, the big guy do not want to be broken up since the want complete control over your information, they want the complete picture, Apple does to care about your information, they just do not want to share their technology with third parties which is what they will have to do it Apple is broken into hardware, software, and separate services business. 

Just stop using those apps then you’ll not have to worry about being track

So people were buying apple stuff from places like B&H and thought they should get free financing on top of the discount they were getting from B&H. It was nice of apple to honor it but people need to read.

The wife and I watch it this weekend and honestly we did not realize it was premiering for the first time and we decided to watch it because of Tom Hanks. I have to agree with many here the movie was lacking in many ways. However, the wife and I both liked it since it was easy to watch and it just entertaining for 2 hours. Verses every TV shows and Movies having all the social justice themes and beating into your head. I am not against those general themes, but I do not want to see and hear about it in everything I watch. 

Back in the day All In The Family was making people aware of bigotry and various isms, but it was not every single show or movie. Everyone talked about All in the Family and how things could be better. People in Hollywood has to realize they are not the moral compass, they get paid to entertain not preach their view of what they deem is the perfect world, that is what churches are for. 

Because of all the crap in movies and TV shows I mostly watch HGTV, History Channel and shows like Gold Rush which stay away from everyone are bad people if you do not see it their way. Watch Gold Rush and maybe people will learn what you can accomplish if you work hard.
