U.S. to suspend the Jones Act in a bid to curb oil prices

With deference to What’s Going on With Shipping[1], the Jones Act isn’t really the problem. The entire incentive structure and industry crumbled well after it was enacted. [1] https://youtu.be/qWKz3psejb0?si=5QJd5HQ3W1IrSJ7F

This is literally the meme of "worst guy you know made a great point" playing out in real time.

Amazing, never thought it would happen.

Ridiculous to have laws that unfairly protect dead industries. Dockworkers next please so we can have automated container unloading.

Absolutely wonderful news for Hawaii.

if it works, will they keep it suspend even after?
