There are hundreds of sealed shipping containers with supplies waiting to be opened and used. Why can't they just get those supplies out? The American Government.... They signed a 1 week waiver to help so the shipping containers could be used and distributed. The Waiver is over now and the Jones Act is preventing the supplies from leaving the shipping containers in the port to help those MILLIONS of American citizens. The supplies are there but they can't use them because of the Jones Act.
To me this seems like there are many things going wrong at the same time here. We need an effective leader for this disaster. A strong FEMA leader and more military presence there to help get the supplies to where they need to go. A strong leader to coordinate the efforts to get the food and supplies to where they need to go and medical supplies to get to the hospital. Electricity and running water restored. Critically ill to be taken to the USNS Comfort. We need to press our government to lift the Jones Act and send more help. Americans are dying and it's only getting worse. We need to UNITE and come together for these American Citizens. This is not ok.
