"They gotta give it a happy acronym. Just like all of these government organizations that are like, I work for children first.' What do you do?' I siphon money from the city and don't anything for kids,' the comedian said. The name, he added, is to avoid looking like f**king grifters. By the way, everything has to do with the welfare of the kids and the addiction, but they never go, and no money!"
"Just like we tax other addictive vices that are bad for our health, like nicotine and tobacco, it is far past time we treat social media companies the same way, he said, adding that there needs to be historic investment in community safety programs or the federal government will use crime as justification for military occupation of our city."
Adam Carolla criticized Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson as an imbecile socialist for proposing a monthly tax on social media companies. The proposal would require social media companies to pay 50 cents per month for every Chicago user over 100,000. Johnson said the tax would generate millions and prevent tax increases for working-class Chicagoans. The plan would fund free mental health clinics and expand mental health crisis response teams. Carolla mocked the SMART acronym and accused officials of using child-welfare rhetoric to justify taking money. Johnson compared the tax to levies on nicotine and alcohol and warned of federal intervention without community safety investment.
