member of a crew

Read a random definition: AOUSC

A quick definition of member of a crew:

Member of a Crew: A person who works on a ship and helps it to function properly. They are not officers, but they are important to the ship's mission. If they get hurt while working, they are protected by special laws. Sometimes, people who work on ships that do other things besides transport goods, like cruise ships or oil drilling platforms, can also be considered members of a crew. There are different types of crew members, like able-bodied seamen who are experienced and can do all the jobs on the ship, ordinary seamen who are still learning, and merchant seamen who work on private ships.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A member of a crew is a person who works on a navigating vessel and contributes to its function or mission. They are usually employees below the rank of officer and are covered under the Jones Act and the general maritime law.

Examples: Seamen, able-bodied seamen, merchant seamen, and ordinary seamen are all examples of members of a crew. An able-bodied seaman is an experienced seaman who is qualified for all seaman's duties and certified by an inspecting authority. A merchant seaman is a sailor employed by a private vessel, as distinguished from one employed in public or military service. An ordinary seaman is a seaman who has some experience but who is not proficient enough to be classified as an able-bodied seaman.

Explanation: Members of a crew are essential to the functioning of a navigating vessel. They perform various duties such as steering the vessel, maintaining equipment, and ensuring the safety of passengers and cargo. The examples illustrate the different types of crew members and their qualifications. An able-bodied seaman is highly skilled and can perform all duties required on a vessel. A merchant seaman works on a private vessel, while an ordinary seaman has some experience but is not yet proficient enough to be classified as an able-bodied seaman.

I mean, idk how it's possible to end birth right citizenship without amending the constitution because to me the 14th amendment is pretty clear about it.
ross ulbricht tried to hire a hitman to kill 5 people
i am not that sympathetic to him

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: That might have been an FBI agent. It was most likely him and he was most likely doing it to retrieve stolen funds that corrupt FBI agents stole, but yeah moral gray area but me personally, cool with hitmen. It's not like it is uncommon to hire hitmen. I don't think the action itself is necessarily wrong but the intent behind it can be.

Like, Boeing whistblowers being killed by hitmen = wrong but a guy hiring hitmen to retrieve stolen funds = good to me.

@Dkk: Yeah, for sure. My guess is it'll go to SCOTUS and it'll be 8-1 or 7-2, saying that EO was unconstitutional.
