So it seems that the suspension of the Jones Act isn't really important after all, since relief supplies are already there and continuing to arrive?

What? Are you a Republican Parrot? It seems more and more that as the Alt Right news sites make some observation you repeat it here.

The Jones Act doesn't need to be suspended. It needs to be abolished. Once and for all, get corporate welfare out of our lives. But no, that's not the Republican mantra. For idiots that hold up the Republican illusion of less government while actually meaning corporate rape and pillage of the US economy for their own selfish greed, the Jones Act is a glowing example of their forked tongue BS.

So tell us 'dude, why does the Jones Act not need to be suspended? What is it about relaxing excessive taxes and limiting aid that makes sense to you? We're not just talking about getting emergency relief in the first days of a crisis, we're taking about rebuilding an island. So, how does your logic apply here?
