May the 20th Century have been the end of the old hierarchal structure of society (symbolized by ladders and pyramids where there is never enough room at the top and success is defined by how many people one could scramble over or kick off in a contest to see who could reach the top rung or pinnacle) and the 21st Century be the beginning of circles of power or inverted pyramids.

There's another video of Greta arriving in NY from CBS that I just posted here recently.

A few years ago due to of cost I had to drop the NYT and I don't know if they even produce YT videos. Dying newspapers and a highly concentrated media in America is unhealthy but what we have for now. Thanks for your interpretation.

I should have said that I am disappointed with USA's media. They treat us like mushrooms. They keep us in the dark and feed us shit. Soon they will notice, everyone under 35 and an increasing number of old farts like me get news elsewhere.
Post Script : Censorship and red baiting just chase us away faster. We are voting with our feet, with our money, and we're coming for the ballot box.
