The Jones Act in general means international shipping cannot stop in between US ports for intranational shipping. Only US-made, US held shipping is allowed by law. This means that every single cargo hauler in the entire world can only stop and unload at New York and Los Angeles and container ships "American Made" are grifted to heck and cost approx. $190-280 million EACH compared to the $20-30 million cost for outsourced Dutch and Chinese container shipping. America is the biggest economy in the world yet only has 0.2% marketshare in the shipbuilding industry.

Without the Jones Act requiring some amount of American shipbuilding, American ship makes wouldn't become more efficient, they would just go out of business.

You hold your countrymen in suspiciously low regard for a chud.

Why am I a chud? Shipbuilding is usually connected to a few nations that heavily subsidize their steel and shipbuilding industries, I have no trust that America could probably run its industries at all and would kill its protection policy while giving no support to its future growth.
