There was a rather weird episode in British political history just after the first wave of COVID lockdowns. The performance arts, limited to outdoor events, were struggling, leading to jokes mocking the government's advice for these performers to 'upskill' as computer programmers. Simultaneously, the lack of temporary residents from other EU countries (who comprise the majority of truck/lorry drivers) due to Brexit meant that computer programmers were joking about 'upskilling' to become drivers with double a programmer's salary!
