The Dominican Republic has imported close to 100% of its fuel from the U.S. since 2019. In contrast, the U.S. mainland only accounted for 4.1% of Puerto Rico’s total propane imports in 2021.

The reason? The Jones Act. https://fal.cn/3viXY #CatoTrade #EndTheJonesAct

.@cpgrabow: "The Jones Act is unwise, unjust, and it isn’t working. Creating the fairer and more equitable society that progressives seek must include the reform, if not full repeal, of this odious law." https://bit.ly/3rt8cvt

Do Adam Smith's writings bolster the case for the Jones Act? No, writes @cpgrabow:

"... Smith would view the law as a protectionist relic that imposes a heavy economic burden while undermining the country’s maritime industry and national security." https://bit.ly/3TREYCF
