What the U.S. Is Missing at Sea

from TechMobility Topics Hosted by TechMobility Productions Inc.

Ocean shipping is the invisible backbone of the global economy—and when it breaks, consumers feel it almost immediately. During this episode of TechMobility Topics, I unpack why U.S. shipbuilding capacity and maritime focus have declined, and how that erosion creates real vulnerability during strikes, pandemics, and geopolitical shocks. We explore why American ports are fragmented, why solutions differ from city to city, and how policies like the Jones Act fit into a much larger structural challenge involving ship availability, trained crews, and long production timelines. This episode connects global logistics to everyday costs, offering brand partners a clear, real-world perspective on supply chain resilience, economic risk, and the systems that quietly shape consumer prices.
