    I did when I move last time, they increased their price mid-move or they would not move certain furniture even though they initially came and gave me a price after seeing everything. They smashed a huge dent into my previous apartment and told me it is my problem. They also offered a cleaning-service which was an interesting offer but they left after halfway cleaning the place and I had to force them to finish it by threatening to sue them. In the end a lawsuit would probably have been the best way anyways as it would have fixed everything else as well but that costs money.

    They also had stellar reviews which I guess are fake…

    I just feels weird that you can use the value of the company you buy to buy said company. It just “feels” weird that you can get a loan and use whatever you buy as leverage.

    Now that I am typing that out that is not really different from getting a loan to buy a house. Never mind, I guess it just seems weird when it is such an insane sum of money ¯\(ツ)



  • We had that once in Germany, the restaurant was right besides an old piece of the former wall between east and west Germany. The waitress, an elderly women, was not just incredibly kind but when we were eating our second course she asked us if we cared to know more about East Germany and how it was like living there. In the end we were drinking our coffee besides multiple old books full of pictures from this region. Absolutely amazing experience.















  • I can give you some issues regarding press freedom in Switzerland. One issue is the Federal Banking Act which is a major concern because it can lead to self-censorship among journalists. If a journalist reports on leaked bank data, even if it’s in the public interest, they risk facing criminal prosecution and up to three years in prison.

    Adding to this, recent legislative changes have made it easier for individuals and companies to obtain injunctions against upcoming press publications. Previously, they had to prove that the publication would cause considerable damage, but now they just need to feel that it will affect them.
