U.S. — Millions of people took to the streets over the weekend to demand more, not less, government waste.

Chants of Make Waste, Not War! and Government Waste Is A Human Right! could be heard for miles around such major metropolitan cities as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and even Washington, D.C.

"I cannot imagine a world without government waste and I don't want to," said a spokesperson for the organized movement. "That's why we've wasted as many man hours as we could to show people we need more waste."

The "Hands Off!" movement was orchestrated by a coalition of over 150 progressive groups in support of government waste who simulated real government waste by blocking traffic and generally inconveniencing the lives of everyday Americans just like the real government.

Protestors argue less government waste could improve the life of the average person, which would make them content and less likely to waste time on wasteful projects like climate change, high speed rail, and NPR.

At publishing time, the protests had quickly fizzled out after DOGE defunded the NGO that was paying for the protests.
