Common Sense Soapbox | How The Government Sank Our Shipping Industry @CommonSenseSoapbox | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
On this (REUPLOADED) episode of Common Sense Soapbox, Seamus explains to Sarah, Bob, and Ron how the hundred-year-old Jones Act makes the American shipping industry way more expensive than it needs to be. In short, an act that was supposed to protect the industry actually ended up killing it. Watch the episode to learn how.
Sorry for the re-upload guys, we realized that we got some dates wrong in the video and because there are a couple different acts that are referred to as "The Jones Act" because of Rep. Wesley Jones (WA), we didn't want to mislead anyone. We also made a couple other small cuts to make sure that everything was more clear.
Fortunately, it was a pretty easy fix, but we did think it was important.
