>the act works enough Does it though, or is this a false sense of security? Regardless of the Jones Act the Navy is paying to modernize shipyards [0]. Meanwhile the small shipping industry propped up by the Jones Act seems to severely outdated, they were using steamships well past when the rest of the world stopped using them and manage to get away with more corruption due to lack of competition [1]. Maybe just drop the act, and have the Navy responsible for shipyards directly & ongoing, or something rather than hope a bunch of old fashioned, inefficient shipyards will be sufficient when we need them most? https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-22-105993 https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-22-105993 https://www.freightwaves.com/news/freightwaves-classicsfallen-flags-horizon-lines-was-largest-jones-act-maritime-and-logistics-company https://www.freightwaves.com/news/freightwaves-classicsfalle...
