The Jones Act is applicable to some of the work I do.

I have no problem with keeping it in place, but I believe it should be modified so it is no longer applicable to ship movements between U.S. states where ships MUST cross international waters. It costs far less to ship a container from China to Los Angeles than from Hawaii to Los Angeles, even if the ship from China sails past Hawaii along its route. There's no reason for this.

Can’t one ship a container from China to Hawaii now?

Or does Hawaii not have an international port?

Jones Act covers state-to-state, not furrin’ country to a state.
