So much winning!
The inevitable creep toward complete implementation of Project 2025 continues, and yet POTUS was so adamant that he had nothing to do with it.
Hopefully my ship stays employed and i can keep my job, this could seriously impact jobs of US mariners, shipyard workers, and everyone else supporting the US maritime trade
I’m sure if those negative impacts occur, those seafarers who did vote for current POTUS will somehow blame Biden.
Man, fuel prices have not gone down and the waiver was extended anyway. I don’t get it. My old captn told me an ATB lost a contract today to a Marshal Island flagged tanker.
This Jones Act waiver is probably a blessing in disguise.
So far there have only been something like 10 shipments under the waiver. What will it be in another 90 days? Certainly less than one per day.
Will these shipments reduce prices at the pump? Not a penny.
will a few companies and mariners be harmed temporarily? No doubt about it.
This waiver may finally disprove the myth that the Jones Act is responsible for higher consumer prices, and that all transportation problems can be resolved by getting rid of it.
Can you expound on what the run was or what companies?
Anything to defend Mr. Trump! God bless him!
