2025 Mandate for Leadership

[michaelimbesi]

The Heritage Foundation isn’t concerned with the health of the US Merchant Marine. The only reason they care about the Jones Act at all is because Exxon doesn’t like having to pay US workers to ship crude from Alaska to the Lower 48.

[chrisnielsen]

Heritage foundation absolutely knows what it’s doing. It’s not what any sane person would want but it’s what they want

[annagiesking]

Heritage foundation throwing out poorly thought out and poorly researched plans forward to the public? Color me unsurprised.

I've reviewed several parts of the Project 2025 document. Based on the few sections I've read, it is screamingly apparent that the justifications cited for many of the reforms they propose are either flawed or based on complete falsehoods. In other words, it is a political document, not a document based on true operational efficiencies, written by a combination of people who have no expertise or are simply ticking off political points. I mean, they actually want to eliminate NOAA!

I nominate Sal for Maritime Secretary.

After watching your show for over a year.. I’m really starting to suspect there is Something Going On With Shipping..!…

"Is not well understood" is an interesting way of saying "I, the author of this paper, do not personally understand this."

[SerendipityChild]

It's a rather comprehensive guide to authoritarian statehood

[SpaceCop]

Bless Sal's heart for thinking they're just stupid, and not that this is exactly what they're trying to do, now that they've sold off all the manufacturing, why not the roads and waterways too? Dismantle everything!

[paulrobertsson]

Wow, reading the rest of this Project 2025 is genuinely terrifying. So much for "government is the problem"

[Jeffrey-edsz]

I'm retired 1600Ton Ocean Master Towing and Sail endorsed. You Sir have presented the best options available. I would love for our legislators to listen to you, rather than committees which all look out for their interests, not the Merchant Marine Deck and Engine personel. Thanks Sal.😊

It's almost like those landlubbers living in Ivory Towers haven't heard the phrase "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt."

[murdelabop]

Heritage is looking at everything through the lens of politics, and their owners in the petroleum industry. They are more concerned with Wall Street than shipping, and they've demonstrated that they don't have a clue about shipping.

[RichardGeiszler]

Kept waiting for Sal to go full Khrushchev, banging a shoe on his desk while shouting "Landlubbers!!"

[DanielinLaTuna]

I’m glad that the specialist YouTube channel creators are looking at 2025. City Nerd is another creator looking at driving and traffic patterns and how they’ll be affected by these proposals.
Thanks for all the information you provide!!!!😊

I really appreciate your taking this subject up. I've tried reading a few sections of this 922 page document and I'm not really impressed for the most part. There are some things that make sense, but me instincts tell me its mostly about handing over a lot of power and money to the private sector with little oversight. The fact that out of 922 pages, only about a page and a half are directed to such an important topic tells a lot about both their value on the subject and their understanding of it. We definitely need to address the jones act without a doubt but I can't agree more that repealing it would not only destroy our own industry but do great harm to our waterways as the nations which would come in to fill tha gap are going to be the cheapest bidders with out care for environment or other concerns. Great job keeping us updated.

[LBVeil]

What next Heritage - allow foreign airlines and trucking companies to offer point to point service with our borders? No. Hands off of the Jones Act.

[pauldavis]

Not really shocked that Project 2025 has a problematic maritime policy. This group wants to replace competent federal employees with political lackeys.

[elizabethkelley]

Being a lifelong learner, but having vowed never to take another test in my eighty year life, I am so grateful for your channel.

[imjashingyou]

I have yet to see a single politically neutral expert in any particaular industry describe Project 2025 as anything but an utter disaster in that area except for megaconglomerates in that area or owned by prominent members of the Heritiage Foundation.

Excited to see your review and if anything is different.
