I don't think the Jones Act is the problem.
My Son, (grew up here) never one to mince words, just returned yesterday from PR with his FEMA team. This is his take on the situation:
"The PR gov needs to chill. It cost a million dollars for our flight alone going over on a c5 Galaxy. 50 k a day for salary for our 27 man team. Money is being thrown at the problem. Resources expended. The PR government is a sh-t show. I drove all over the island meeting with mayors to set up distribution centers. Some were organized, but collectively, they had prepared very little and expected FEMA to save the day."
Let's hope our warning (Izelle) has inspired us to be more prepared for future hurricanes and their aftermath.
