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.

The Bee is like what Rush said many times: the best humor always has an element of truth.

Because they subsist off government waste.

They know damned well nobody in their right mind would give them a real job they would deem "worthy of them."

most of them collect trust fund money [ many collect north of $40k month, along with their hourly protest wages ], and have no need of a real job.

Looks like a bunch of dumb "college educated" women who buried themselves in insurmountable student loan debt by neglecting to do any cost/benefit analysis on their "college educations."

They are mad as Hell about it, and blame and hate everyone for it except themselves.

While you are correct that trust-fund babies would do as we see, methinks you wildly over-estimate the number of them. Former and threatened bureaucrats and teachers alone greatly exceed that total.
