I'm working on a video that came from a clip last week I saw and, suddenly, I was ELECTRIFIED.

I'm sure some of you have heard of the Jones Act - any strong opinions in this group? Anyway, this video touches on a unique secondary result of the act and its effect on a new market. Which required me to get boats.

I'm also trying to slowly wrap my head around a piece about the true inventor of Dark Mode (back in the 1880s). The problem is that I know, from my experience, that "X was actually invented in 18XX" is a format that often doesn't interest people. So I'm seeing if I can crack it, because people loved that nugget in the last video, and I think there's a bigger story. As so many YouTube things go, it's all about packaging.

That ferry boat set is pretty darn sweet...

I hate the jones act about equally as much as I hate the foreign dredge act. Makes every aspect of my day to day life just a little bit worse with such a dumb law. I fully understand the want and good effects of supporting the practically mortibund US shipbuilding industry, but just do industrial policy and directly subsidize it to make it something people actually understand the cost of. If you wanted to ping people with strong opinions on it and know vastly more than me, the people I thought about who I follow on twitter: https://twitter.com/mercoglianos is pro, https://twitter.com/scottlincicome is anti

Ah thanks - I had run into Colin Grabow when reading up on some stuff, another Cato guy. It's interesting. I mention it in the video, I think I end up about where you do — some sort of repeal and replace type thing.
