Giving ‘Til It Hurts: Adam Carolla Is Tired of Cash Going to ‘Noble Cause’ Groups That Make Things Worse

We’ve witnessed years, even decades, of millions of dollars pouring into ‘noble causes’ and nothing ever changing for the better. In fact, things seem to worsen noticeably as our finances are siphoned off. Podcaster Adam Carolla recently highlighted the frustrating phenomenon on an episode of his show.

Adam Carolla notices something strange about what happens when millions are “spent” on noble causes.
“Black Lives Matter. Anything changed in the Black community?”
“Homeless spending in Los Angeles. Anything change in the homeless community?”
“If someone said they just dumped a million dollars into their home renovating it, and you show up, and it looks exactly the same, or maybe a little bit worse, something is up.”
“How is it that you raise millions and millions and millions for this purpose, and nothing’s changing comes out the other end? ‘Hey, we had a big concert and all the money was gonna go to the victims of the Palisades fire’… How come nothing happened?”
“There’s not one pothole filled. There’s nothing put up. There’s no new community center that got built. Does anyone ever get tired of nothing coming out the other side?”

Here’s the clip. (WATCH)

When the money flows but the problem stays, you're not funding a solution.

You're funding an industry.

A solution is not the point.

Posters say there’s a name for what’s happening in the name of making things better. It explains why throwing money at issues like homelessness only creates more of it.

Of course it did. The problem is mental health / alcoholism. Those are hard to solve. So we called drunks "homeless," because that's easy to fix, if you just throw endless money at it. Did the problem go away once the euphemism was adopted? Or did people believe the lie, ignore the real problem, and make it worse?
Anyone who changes the language should be viewed with intense suspicion.

Or, hear me out, most of the money was simply stolen by scumbag politicians.

Well, that also happens. Politicians wouldn’t push these programs if they weren’t getting rich off of them.

Commenters say there is some ‘change’ to be counted.

Nothing happened except for the people who made $$.

No! The people pocketing the money - also know as your elected officials, public servants etc... - Never tire of this.

Check out the houses and rides of the people administering the NGOs, charities and contactees. Big change there, I bet!

Almost every organization that promotes left wing causes is a scam.

That’s not a coincidence, it’s a feature. You’ll notice that the loudest screaming voices were Democrats when DOGE started disrupting the taxpayer money pipelines to NGOs. We need to find better, direct ways to help people who are genuinely in need.
