I was once banned from Reddit for correctly pointing out that the medically approved cure for Nazism is one fist, applied directly to the face repeatedly until the afflicted individual stops being a Nazi.
The medical professional applying this cure can substitute any handy blunt object for their first if so desired.
The Mississippi River sees constant river boat traffic.
Those smaller, feeder rivers often aren’t big enough to support a barge.
The Jones act mostly applies to ocean shipping, in fact, I don’t think the Jones act even applies to river traffic.
To be fair, the Jones act consistently fucks over Puerto Rico, and should probably be scrapped or amended, it just doesn’t stop river traffic on rivers that can’t actually support said traffic.
