I deal with this sort of thing periodically in my line of work. I’ve long advocated a revision of the Jones Act that leaves most of its provisions intact but removes the prohibition against foreign-flagged vessels for domestic shipping routes to Hawaii and Alaska.

EVERY industry will claim that if they face free and open competition - national security will be harmed, enemies will be strengthened, the environment will be damaged, jobs will be lost, children will die.

We heard it back in the Carter days about airline deregulation. We were told the same when Obama bailed out General Motors. The Left screamed the same for years about health insurance, and then simply combined the power of government together with bought-and-paid-for cronies in the insurance industry and gave us Obamacare to rape the American middle class.

The purpose is to give the US maritime labor unions, (and the Mafia, and the Democrat Party,) a stranglehold over trade and shipping.

I believe the Jones Act can be suspended in a national emergency. By POTUS.
