re: California to provide free diapers to newborns leaving hospitals

Deliveries are a loss leader for most hospitals. It’s the only thing you go to the hospital for that’s positive. We gave every mother this book and hoped that they read it just for the baby’s sake.

Can't believe they are passing out these environmentally unfriendly landfill hogs for free.

Agreed. They still make cloth diapers. A bitch to clean, but reusable and eco friendly.

I volunteered at a Food Bank in my younger days. You learned pretty quickly to distinguish between the genuinely desperate and the parasites. But one thing they always wanted was diapers. Diapers were like gold when they were in stock..

So it's a grift. They are paying .50 cents per diaper.

Ok… most of you know I was in the organic baby formula business, but what you don’t know is I dabbled in diapers as well.

I also know this baby2baby “non profit” and have had past interactions with them.. I’ll leave that out for now..

Let’s dive into this absolute grifting nonsense. Prepare to be shocked.

California is about to spend $20 million of taxpayer money to give 100,000 newborns 400 diapers each through Baby2Baby.

Do the math with me:
100,000 babies × 400 diapers = 40 million diapers

$20,000,000 ÷ 40,000,000 = $0.50 per diaper!!!!!

Now walk into any Costco in California and you can buy the same quality diapers for .12 to .15 cents each!

That’s $48 to $60 for 400 diapers.
So the state is paying 8–10x more per diaper than a regular family buying in bulk.

They could’ve just handed every low-income new mom $100 cash and told her to go to Costco. She’d get more diapers, better ones if she wanted, and still have money left for formula, wipes, or whatever the hell she actually needs.

So why is it a grift?

quote:

---

Baby2Baby’s co-CEO, Norah Weinstein, is married to Brian Weinstein (an entertainment executive who has worked at CAA, Bad Robot Productions with J.J. Abrams, and later Lionsgate/3 Arts), and her background is in corporate law (Skadden Arps) and public service (White House intern during the Clinton administration), with no overlap with the Weinstein entertainment family from New York. They met in law school and have two children (Sloane and Graham).

Weinstein doesn’t just run the show—she sits on the board of the California Partners Project, the gender-equity nonprofit co-founded by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. This isn’t a “coincidence.” It’s the latest chapter in a well-documented pattern: Newsom has “behested” over $4 million in donations to his wife's initiatives, while her prior venture, The Representation Project, funneled $3.7 million directly to Siebel Newsom's salary and her for-profit film LLC over a decade—often from corporations that later scored massive state contracts.

California's free diaper program is a $12.5M Democrat donor payoff in disguise.

Who could have seen this coming?
Probably most on the right and zero leftists.

Not sure how many but for all 3 of my kids we went home with a pile of diapers from the hospital that our nurse gave us My wife started her career as a labor and delivery RN and she said she did that every time for patients too

---

Yeah, the hospital where my kids were born has carts full of everything you could need to take care of a newborn that they put in each room. Before we left a nurse told us that we already paid for everything in the cart and could empty it and take everything home. Nine years later and we still have unopened tubes of petroleum jelly from it

More free shite to keep illegals and dregs of society in California. Gotta keep the Democrat votes

how do yoh know they don’t?
