It looks like the Jones Act opponents have plotted a new course to run the US Merchant Marine firmly aground on the shoals of greed and treachery; http://www.uscg.mil/msib/docs/051_10.pdf
So, we'll now have "Peggy", who answers the tech support phones for our computers, running U.S.ships and yachts? Sounds normal. We don't have any U.S. citizens who want to be in the merchants or have jobs running yacts so why not. As long as someone gets to save some money it's fine.
