Yeah......sure.....uh-huh.....The Jones Act was waived in Houston and Florida because of the damaged refineries and drilling platforms. No foreign country was bringing aid to either Houston or Florida.DHS advised the President that it was not necessary to give the waiver at that point in time. He listened to his advisors. DHS made a reassessment with input from all aid agencies and reversed the original decision.
What is your problem?
What is my problem? He waived it for Houston and Florida within hours. I'm not sure what you don't understand. So why do you think he changed his position in one day's period of time following all the public outcry yesterday? Did the conditions in Puerto Rico dramatically change? No... they didn't. What changed is, the public let him know how big of an utter asshole to put money ahead of the lives of American citizens.
When you put up your thread yesterday I had already posted in it a piece in the Business Insider that said he was still keeping the option open of the waiver following the DHS's reassessment of the conditions.
It wasn't your opinion or anyone else's other than DHS and other agencies agreeing it was time to implement the waiver. By the way the Jones Act has had no effect either way on the rescue/aid progress by the US agencies.
To say otherwise would be a bald face lie.
...and you continue to ignore the point being repeated to you several times now. Trump waived the Jones Act for Houston and Florida within hours of the hurricanes there. He didn't do that for Puerto Rico DESPITE the fact they are a fucking island that needs the help more than the other two.
Liberals, lying like the rugs they are.
It was waived within HOURS of the hurricanes, with no time to even think about the pros and cons of the results... and Houston and Florida aren't even islands that have to depend on ships for everything.
Even the post you just made is a symbol of the problem. You stated the decision was about oil not the people.
Oh really.......uh-huh....yep....yuppers..oh....how awful.
