I'll admit there's one thing I do miss about Pennsylvania that happens only very rarely here in the Lone Star State: strikes! I always got energized by getting in the face of union thugs and fearlessly crossing their picket lines, looking the goons squarely in the eye. For example, I would travel out of my way during the drive home to shop at Kroger when a strike was in progress just to show the unionistas that they couldn't intimidate me. Of course, they eventually got their way with Kroger -- that Ohio-based grocery store chain closed all their stores in Pennsylvania.
Got their way just across the river in Ohio too. The kroger store was struggling to stay open and trying to find ways to keep their employees. So what did the union do? Yep, strike. Closed the store forever. Now we have to drive long distances if we want to shop Kroger.
