Saw a news report this morning that showed 9,500 containers with relief
supplies for Puerto Rico residents held up in San Juan docks due to lack
of diesel fuel for trucks to haul them to their destinations.

Another 1,500 container ships loaded with supplies are anchored off the
coast, unable to unload due to no room on the docks.

This morning President Trump authorized that the Jones Act be waived
for Puerto Rico, effective immediately.

The Jones act requires that all goods shipped between US ports be
carried by American-owned and -operated ships.

Good we have a POTUS who is staying on top of things.

Supposedly the other big issue is drivers for the trucks. A lot of
them can't get to their job for one reason or another. FEMA should
build temporary housing for them right at the port facility.
