I just figured out what is wrong with my brain
On the left side, nothing is right
On the right side, nothing is left

Some of these pop music chord progressions need to be retired, like basketball jersey numbers or something. Thanks for your service, you made a lot of kids happy, now we're gonna respectfully hang you up in the rafters over here, and just shhhh! be quiet now.
I feel like I've been hearing the same 2 or 3 damn songs for the last 25 years.

Holy hell that is some twisted genius at work there. These 3 goofballs illustrate the point 10x better than I would've thought possible!
Thanks for the link, that was hilarious.

Heh, heh... indeed! There's a longer "studio" version of this (embedded in the link below) that's even more hilarious.
According to this and other sources it's a "I-V-vi-IV" chord progression (I haven't a clue what that means). Just change the key, a few words, the rhythm, and/or the instruments - and voila! I was surprised at a few of the tunes that made the list (e.g., Take Me Home, Country Roads, Auld Lang Syne).
Auld Lang Syne?!?!
Apparently they've been dong this crap for a very, very long time... 🤡

Hot chassis tube amps (aka, AC/DC) come to mind immediately. On many levels.
it is however, funny.

I didn't get the AC/DC T-Shirt at all. Who are those people? 🙁
My mood was not initially lightened this morning on reading about a huge £1.4Bn pile of date-expired Covid era PPE in the lovely New Forest in Hampshire.
Portsmouth F.C. could build a new stadium with that sort of cash.

Seemed a bit wasteful to me. But then I remembered this is Economics at work.
Apparently the manufacturers have retired to Caribbean islands with the huge profits and no impropriety is alleged. It all will doubtless produce lots of Energy in our local incineration power plant.
This is Capitalist Economics in rude good health. Keynes said that digging a hole in the ground and then filling it in again is good for jobs.
Karl Marx says it is inevitable in a Capitalist system:
My mood is lightened. All under control then! 😀

Like everyone else here, I think Politics is a subject to be avoided at all costs.
I have even worse problems understanding Economics. My pal was trying to explain how Nixon getting rid of the Gold Standard in 1971 in the US caused the Crash of 1974 in Britain.
Or made it less worse than it could have been, so he actually did a good thing... or something.
I said to him could we talk about the Euros football instead please. My brain is hurting. 🙁
But in Highgate cemetary, London, someone had a sense of humour, and moved Karl Marx' tombstone 200 yards to create the gag.
Adjacent tombstones:
1) Karl Marx, known for his Egalitarian views in Economics:
2) Herbert Spencer, known for coining Darwinian "Survival of the Fittest" in Economics and founder of famous retail chain "Marks and Spencer":
Collectively known as "Marx and Spencer" and doubtless still arguing about it all right now! 🤣
