RE: Is the Jones Act part of Puerto Rico's problem?

in #puertorico7 years ago

Well, it seems the Jones Act will not be renewed.

Honestly, part of the "aid" should have been to provide CDL-certified personnel to help distribute food, medicine and other necessities to an island where one cannot simply call their drivers into the office at this very moment.

But then again, they are just being "lazy" and "expect everything to be done for them".

Sort:  

Actually the article mentions that the waiver was not renewed, so the Jones Act is in effect for Puerto Rico at the moment.
