Right-Wing Media Blames Bridge Collapse on ‘Open Border’ and COVID Lockdowns
While Fox’s Maria Bartiromo tried linking the disaster to border policies, Matt Schlapp suggested it had something to do with post-COVID labor policy.

Absolutely right! We need to stop these cargo ships illegally emigrating to our country and taking our jobs!
Damn straight!
I applied for a data analyst role at a company last year, and after weeks of interviewing, they informed me that instead of hiring a red-blooded American patriot like me, they decided to go with a cargo ship. Can you believe that?
Dat ship dun terk mer jerb.
Why isn't Biden doing something about the migrant cargo ship crisis?!
And for that matter, why didn't Obama stop this one?
Probably something to do with Benghazi. We should have a congressional investigation into that.
Well all know Benghazi happened because of Hunter Bidern's laptop.
Ironically enough, we do actually have a law to stop something like this, the Jones act, which requires that ships transporting cargo between two parts of the US must be built in the US, fly our flag, and be owned and crewed by americans. All this actually does though is make shipping just a bit more expensive, because US shipbuilding is more expensive than the global average, so almost nobody builds cargo ships here, which means that ships that comply with the law are rare specialty constructs and thus even more expensive, so very few exist and trips that could be more efficiently done by ship from one US port to another are instead taken by things like trucks.
Is this why our cruise ship in hawaii (sailing only between hawaiian islands) was american flagged and crewed by americans?
I was surprised because i always heard stories about how cruise ships are often crewed by exploited internationals and flagged in questionable jurisdictions so that workers can be abused.
That’s exactly why. It’s also why Alaska cruises make a stop in Canada along the way. If they sailed straight between Alaska and Seattle, they’d need to be US-flagged.
Possibly? Im unaware if it applies to things like cruise ships, or if it's just cargo shipping
My son is a cargo ship and he didn't get in to the collage of his choice because of affirmative action.
