It’s involuntary which opposes libertarian ideals, but I think it has decent justification for national security reasons.
Also, you might want to add detail to your question. I suspect most Redditors aren’t familiar with the Jones Act.
It makes it easy for people to point at Puerto Rico and call them “an island of trash” as was said at a Republican rally last year, without understanding the nuance of why the Jones Act fucks their economy.
