Everyone else tired of these Companies getting away with murder just by paying a fine?
That's how you put a price on human life smh
Where is all that money going? To Ukraine and Israel 🤦
Been happening for over 1000+ years same tactics different terminology...the consolidation of power and wealth by pathologizing, villifying targeted demographics through dissemination of theologically based narrative constructs to exploit and consolidate more power and wealth. Then use that power and wealth to further change the system in your favor and maintain pre established systems of control...rinse and repeat and as soon as people catch on change the targeted demographic and terminology. I.e Crusades, witch hunts, conquest, colonialism, neo-colonialisn, globalization, etc.
If the punishment for breaking a law is a fine, it's only a crime for the working class.
all these companies are doing is making people not respect the system they take advantage of to get so rich. I work for what I have, but I still understand that money is fake, the only power it has is the power we give it.
If the US was really a free market Boeing would be out of business.
How about Lockeed Martin ?
Boeing has escaped any meaningful punishment for poor quality control that resulted in deaths. The fine is pocket change for Boeing - shameful and disgraceful.
Boeing is a Branch of the U.S. Government. Boeing is crucial to American commerce.
$243 million for Boeing is like $243 for the average person. Way to not hold them accountable for their actions. I’m sure moving forward that they will change their ways.
@@GlennMiller-qv9tx And coddling them works so well?? They NEED to be broken up into 3 companies at least as competition is paramount to good behavior.
When they Ignored the Trust Laws and allowed Boeing to accumulate MacDonnel Douglass was the day U.S. lost its edge in commercial transport.
@@billhanna2148 You are out there alright. Boeing is actually aligned to the DOD.
I am watching from Africa and I love Democracy Now for it's impartiality
Learn better English and you'll hear the impartiality.
The French know what the fuck is up 🇫🇷
Yup! Why else do you think Americans are urged to mock them?
Merci beaucoup!
@@arcanondrum6543 just like when the US pushed "Freedom Fries" when France didn't want to participate in the Iraq War.
@@cbgames3945 I clearly remember that time. US was throwing away french wines down the sewage. They'll pay for this, one way or another.
@@arcanondrum6543 Can you be a conservative for democracy and safety ?
Why did progressives stop at a republic that uses capitalism...
Why didn't they go straight democratic socialism..
I don't understand, please explain .
British Sunak and french Macron lost a leadership in own country.
They were trying to send their boys off to fight a useless Soviet war.
What happened to Netenyahu being charged with war crimes.
he's above the law, don't you know that?
International courts have no enforcement power, unfortunately war crimes charges pretty much mean nothing.
He's special, because American Jews are allowed to have two passports since the 60's so they can continue the genocide in the Levant as the U.S. does on Turtle Island.
Charged by whom?
South Africa?
Let them try to enforce it, good luck 😜
@georgemetesky5519 South Africa isn't involved with the ICC warrants, George. Why do you keep trolling DN? Unemployed?
RIP Jane McAlevey, you earned a restful peace.
too young! :(
so sad :( she was a shining beacon of light and justice. may her legacy live on
Free Palestine ♥️🇵🇸🍉
Free Palestine.
No One cares about Sudan and South Sudan 😢

the first 4 and a half minutes were the longest streak of good news i've seen on this channel since ... ever
The best part of those French elections is that Macron lost
Little Bonaparte is gone👍
sadly he could still remain president if he forms a coalition
I can't believe Macronites even got second after the pension reform they pushed through. Just goes to show, Liberals don't give a shit about anyone as long as they have what they need.
He will remain president regardless of what coalition is formed. Presidency is not impacted by the national assembly.
Just glad LePen is not in. Lady Trump she is.
Thank you so much for clarifying reporting world news. Refreshing daily watch that keeps me from despair spread by corporate media. Good job.
Never watch Disneyland corporate American news it's full of s***

Lancet medical journal report of deaths in Gaza brings to reality what Ralph Nader has predicted.
Upwards of 180,000+ deaths ~8% Gaza inhabitants.
Never trust a tyrant!
Thank you! ❤
If not member of WEF you can’t elect simple like that but people still naive believing elections
@@kawataufeek400 yup,"surprise victory""The wef/zionists are destroying EU and the Americas.
I like this newly elected leader of France. The young French came out and made sure the old and middle aged racist French did not bring the far right into power! Bravo 👏
RIP Jane that’s so sad 😞
Why can't we have more progressive leaders here in the US? Well done, UK and France! Vive la liberté!
As a UK leftist, it’s honestly been a hugely relieving weekend! I mean, I’m very much not a fan of the Labour party under Keir Starmer and all they’ve done to hew to the culture-war-iest social views from the right, as well as their essential indivisibility from the Conservatives on their support for Israel and their genocidal attacks on Palestine… AND to top it all off, their solemn vows to hold to the same fiscal rules as the Tories that will undoubtedly result in some form of austerity (as they refuse to increase taxes on the rich)… but I don’t think they’re as bad as the Conservatives on so many levels (and after 14 years, oh boy is it time for a change).
And I’m heartened by so many of the seats (like my own) where their substantial majority was drastically eaten into by more left-wing progressive candidates (whether Green Party or independents like Jeremy Corbyn ❤) who came second. While Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has been systematically removing a lot of the letists over the last 5 years, the results will hopefully give them some pause for thought about actually listening to the calls to introduce/support policies that represent those of us on the left (the media narrative has been about a swing to the right, with support of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party increasing, but that’s not at all the only here - Labour lost a lot of vote proportion to candidates and parties further left than them)!
And I’m very pleased we now have four Green Party MPs, up from only one for the past 14 years! 💚 They’ve slowly and steadily been building support locally for many years, and gaining more and more support in local councils etc; but this result is incredible for them, and as a very progressive environmentally-conscious party, I think this means everyone in our country and the world is better for it (in whatever small way!)
Likewise, I’m overjoyed to see the results in France this weekend! I had a deep sense of foreboding that it was going to go the way of a swing to the far right like many other countries in Europe, and the first round of results definitely played right into that. But I ended up going to bed last night feeling triumphant about the way the New Popular Front had surged forth after the “compromise coalition” hastily put into action to stop the advancement of the hard right. It’s not what I expected, but I feel like the political world on the left could use at least a little bit of positive news 😊
Solidarity, my American friend! Wishing you the best possible outcome in your own elections this year ✊
Marianne Williamson...4 President...!!!😮😮😮
Starmer is pro Israel, pro the 'war' on Gaza. He won the election on a low turnout lowest % for any UK party since 1885. He is definitely not 'progressive'.
Thank You Amy And DN 🙏🌎🇺🇲💙🦅🙏
Thank you lady.
Congratulations Popular Front. Thanks for recognizing Palestinians & Making The Wealthy Pay what they owe. 🇫🇷 🇵🇸
Hey! I’m coming to you from the Golden State. It’s hotter than hades here. 116 yesterday. 112 today. Back to 115 by Thursday. Ouch! The sun can stop keeping it 💯. It’s 8:00 a.m. and already 82 degrees. But there are far worse circumstances than mine. I’m thankful that all my needs are taken care of.
Thank goodness you're not homeless!!😅😂
You live in the wrong part of Cali.
Oakland/Berkeley is 75 with a light breeze 😊
@@hoosierbaddy3052 Are you living in Death Valley? It's really nice along the coast! It does get hot in the central valley,!
@@robertchilders8698 I know, the weather couldn't be more perfect here in East Bay Area! 😊😊😊😊
R.I.P. Jane McAlevey!
French left excellent for the Palestinians cause, contrary to Macron.
Not so great for kids wanting to go to an Ariana Grande concert in Paris 😮
Biden must drop out no one wants a guy that's showing signs of dementia running a McDonald's let alone a country
So in this end of the world movie, France is one of the last functioning states. Got it.
Disturbing
Looks like France barely pulled out of a far-right nose-dive, that's a relief. Also, RIP Jane McAlevey.
Into a far left nose dive
@@tmnt10000 This won't work out well for the Left.
Their strategy will fall apart as soon as a difficult issue splits the Left, and Macron knows this.
Amy 😭 Thank you!
And if you listen to the analysis done by Palestinian, Susan Abulhawa, the number is at least 500,000. Her report is in-depth but being Palestinian I'm sure- sadly- that her information /research will be disappeared.
I have heard that the actual number is 3 to 4 times greater than the 2023 population of Gaza!
@@georgemetesky5519which would come as no surprise when you think about the suppression of information
@@lassibanjo Yes, the U N. and the World Health Organization underestimated the population of Gaza by 4 million 😮
All these officials are unreliable!
Rest in power, Jane ✊
Rest in Power ✊ Jane McAlevey 🕯💐
Thank you Amy and Democracy Now for keeping the focus on Gaza when the rest of the mainstream news is looking elsewhere for its clicks
Bravo France!
Amy rocking the paisley.
It suits her so well and it´s summer! :)
I am here for all of Amy’s fashion choices! I’m especially a fan of the biker-esque jackets, but not in a NYC summer!
The USA is melting down in real time!
“I alone can fix it” vs “I alone can beat Trump” we are screwed blue
You dems need to change your party name. Something like "The career politician party".
Good news this early Monday early morning.
I would've perfered Jeremy Corbyn, since I'm not expecting anything from Keir Starmer. He essentially Tory Lite.
Jeremy Corbyn is like our Albert Gore. Regardless of what the Voters vote for, he will be blocked by any means necessary. For us, that was 5 of 9 Votes on the Supreme Court when the other efforts failed ...and the mainstream media had to do "their part" of course.
Is his entire party Tory lite? If not then I guess he will have to answer to his party members correct?
@hizzlemobizzle Or there will just be deliberate, induced turmoil. Fascism plays hard with Voter choices, all rules go out the window when real power is threatened.
What party does he belong to?
Labour expelled him.
NATO, and Ukraine are the losers in this game.
Vive la France!
Hello Amy ✌️
Yellow journalists don't give a damn about you.
First black woman vice president and first to serve with a black president. Literally nothing wrong with that statement.
Right 😂😂😂😂😂
We don't care what color you are. We want peace and stability and a government not weaponized against its political adversaries.
@@cbgames3945 I don't care about any of that, I'm just pointing out what he said actually made sense
His only real glitch was immigration and abortion Trump keeps his statements so simple it hides a lot
I wished that Michael Jackson would have run for president! Things would sure be different today! A blaçk person who would have run as a white person!
RIP Jane, Thank you for your dedication.
As an American who follows French politics, I've been supporting Mélenchon for decades. Glad to see him have some success finally.
Great work Mr Melenchón
The Russian's claim the strike was Ukraine's anti air missile that stuck the hospital after it missed it's target. Maybe someone should investigate further.
Oh, don't hold your breath - propagandists will never tell the whole story.
If you need to learn more about the conflict related to Palestine land:, the Israeli historian Ilan Pappe wrote well documented book : The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine.
Then why has the Palestinian population grown?
@@tmnt10000ты человек? 🧐

to heal Humanity as a whole,
joining each other soul to soul.
Namaste.

God!! Jane was an amazing person..a national treasure..so sad she is gone
Listening to Amy makes me cry.
Excellent move France for your people and for humanity, well done. ❤👍🙏
'You cannot trust a single word that comes out of his mouth.'
Lowkey.
RIP Jane McAlevey 😢 I learned about her through your reporting right here (as a clearly under-educated UK leftist!), and she was an incredible and brilliant woman; who impressed me and moved me to tears in almost equal quantities back in April.
I know she had a huge impact on the world, both in terms of her direct actions and through the myriad ways in which she inspired others to take actions themselves (I’ve just read Katie Miles’s piece about her in The Nation, and I’m feeling that reflected sense of inspiration and impact Jane had through Katie’s writing); and while I know it’s absolutely nothing in comparison to the sense of loss, I hope Jane’s friends, family, and loved ones take some small solace in knowing that she was known and loved far and wide 💙
That is soo sad, Jane McAlevy was so young yet.
probably got the clot shot
Iran's new leader is someone to watch 😏
What channel is he on?
Iran's old leader was someone to watch getting CIA'ed
Thanks for the update
All 👍🇺🇲
Biden was clearly was listing some of the things he did, not what he was. He did serve with a black president, he does have a woman vice-president who is black, he did break barriers, and more importantly, he has been a good president. He has worked for the common people and did things that needed to be done. Given a cooperative congress and senate he will do more. He is the hope for the future of our democracy.
People on welfare, unite!
I want what you are smoking
Vive la France 🇲🇫
That us bot a quote saying he's a black women vice president. That's some misreporting. Yikes.
Parliamentary systems don't seem very stable or predictable.
And he was carring a replica hand gun, pointing it at officers. Why not say this???? why leave it out??
Half-truth Amy 😂
@@georgemetesky5519 Amy is full of half-truths every single time.
White kids (and even white men with real guns at rallies!) aren't shot by the police. Open your eyes and ears to that truth!
Surprise victory or misleading polls?
Great reporting Amy Goodman. Thank you.
Price controls literally never work. Price controls only ever lead to shortages.

Beryl missed us here in hot South Texas. 🌞
did you get a breeze from it? hope so.
Oh my glob; 25th Amendment time! Joe, this is not a "one-time thing", you need to step aside. For the sake of the country.
It's so painful to watch.
Your trying to get rid of the first black female president?!
nah, just let him get trumped

I like ur blouse, nice change
Thanks Amy and Team DN
Foolish parents let him have a bb gun that looked real. Sue the manufacturers, educate parents. These things look like the real thing. What did they ecoect to happwn???
It’s a pretty poor reflection on democracy now that they didn’t give any context to why the police shooting happened
Word! Thank you, Jane Mac!
Also, I told you you were undercounting the death toll lol
Yes, it's several times higher than the actual population of Gaza.
Definitely over 6 million, according to Leftists 😂
Biden's "mistake" was still a lot more coherent than the least of Trump's blathering.
If the democrats calling on Biden to step aside don't have a shoe-in replacement, they need to suck it up and get with the program.
Love your show
Little sex and music would make it better.
Biden was saying he served as vp under Obama. As well as having a black VP now. Love the show !
Condolences to jane ❤💐
Good morning Amy and Democracy Now 📣📣 Missed you guys!!

Mr. President Biden's answers were fluid. He sounds of mind, body and soul.
I wish I had a pet dragon.
Thank you for the update on the world 🌎🌍🌎
People have certainly had it with Capitalism alright. I wonder how many of them realize that it’s Capitalism with which they’ve had it? There’s quite a large number of them who are so uninformed that they continue voting against their own best interest. 😢
it's CRONY CAPITALISM that's the problem. get it right.
Biden is a living SNL sketch. He reminds me of Tracy Morgan doing his impression of Harry Belafonte.
Shame on you! Mr. Biden's speech is protected by the First Amendment! He has rights!
