Reply to comment by hsavvy in Temple University deactivated health insurance of all striking graduate workers today by TransFattyAcid

>striking workers aren’t actually working

They are grad students who refuse to allow Temple to use them as chattel. A different category under labor law, but still entitled to the full protection of labor laws which do not allow retaliation against organizing or other unfair labor practices.

Reply to My 35/M brother is moving to PA from Houston, TX in a few weeks - what city should he choose? by desirizzle21

If he wants to be super close to work, Wyoming and West Wyoming are great. There is a nice wall along the river that he can take the dog too. I'd avoid West Pittston. Its beautiful, but like 90% of the town in a flood zone. Of the Kingston area, I like Swoyersville best. Dallas area is very pretty. I'm assuming that his jobs is at the vehicle parts distributer that starts with a K. Just note that the closest highway ramp is 18-20 minutes from there, so the it can be a pain in the butt sometimes to get there from Scranton.

edit: My bad - apparently there's two Exeter's on that side of the state. I was familiar with the other one of them. In my defense the other Exeter his 5x bigger in both area and population so I had an 80% chance of being right.

Those NEPA towns are 2+ hours from Exeter in non-rush-hour traffic. It's not like Texas where there's cities separated by flat empty space. He'd have to cross a whole mountain range and go around two not-big-but-big-enough-to-have-major-rush-hour-traffic cities. Please consider somewhere between Reading and Philly or he'll be driving 6 hours a day.
