Using the Jones Act to protect US shipbuilding capacity is like using the Endangered Species Act to protect the dodo bird.

Unpopular take: The Jones Act protects US Shipbuilding Capacity, which is at record AND unacceptable lows. We need shipbuilding capacity not just for warships but ferries and freighters. That said, cutting Puerto Rico a break is also fair. x.com/scottlincicome…

It worked until we abandoned it in the 80s. But honestly, we need it, along with strong cooperation with the Koreans (in the early stages) if we want any chance at revitalizing American shipbuilding. Very important in both peace and war, even with low exports.
