Good day all. The amount of fraud and waste at both the federal and state level is arguably in the trillion+ dollar per year range. You have some states digging into everything and working with the DoJ and FBI. Then you have states like Minnesota and Kalifornistan that actively covered up all the fraud.
Now we have a story out of Kalifornistan that stinks to high heaven, both figuratively and literally. Here are the details from the Post Millennial:
Gavin Newsom has announced that the state of California will be paying out $20 million to the company Baby2Baby in order to provide families free diapers.
While I have issues with the government involved in things like this, on the surface, it doesn’t seem bad.
However, the one issue that critics have pointed out is that the co-CEO of the company, Norah Weinstein, sits on the board of Newsom’s wife‘s California Partners Project.
It looks like I spoke to soon.
Newsom made the announcement for the diapers ahead of Mother’s Day, this upcoming Sunday. “California is taking on the cost of raising a family head-on — delivering free school meals, making preschool free for every four-year-old, expanding after-school programs, and now making sure parents leave the hospital with the basics their newborn needs. Every baby born in California deserves a healthy start in life – and that means making sure parents have the basics they need from day one,” Newsom said in a statement.
First, I wonder how they’re going to pay for all this? Second, and more importantly, how much of that money is actually going to be used to by diapers? Considering how much these NGO’s pay their staff, especially their management, very little.
Newsom rolled out the effort on Friday, and under the program, hospitals will distribute 400 diapers directly to parents when they are discharged from the hospital. The program will prioritize low-income families that are on Medi-Cal and others.
Obviously, I don’t buy diapers. Being a curious sort, I went to Amazon to get an idea how much they cost. Not knowing how many a baby goes through per hour, it looks 400 diapers will run around $100-200 dollars. Now how much will it cost when this NGO gets involved? I’m thinking it’s going to be way north of $200.
However, critics pointed out that Norah Weinstein, a Co-CEO of Baby2Baby, is on the board of the California Partners Project, which is an organization started by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of the governor.
X account “Quality Learing Center,” said, “This man is corrupt and should be removed immediately. The Co-CEO of @baby2baby is Norah Weinstein Norah Weinstein sits on the board of Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s California Partners Project, a “nonprofit” focused on supporting children and families. They will be getting rich off diapers while California smells like dirty diapers.”
I think the poster was trying to be polite. Obviously, California smells like the contents of dirty diapers.
X account Kevin Dalton said in response, “Gavin Newsom just announced a shiny new taxpayer funded program giving free diapers to newborns leaving California hospitals and his administration is partnering with Baby2Baby with almost $20 MILLION in state funds to manufacture them. I’m sure it’s a total coincidence that one of Baby2Baby’s Co-CEOs, Norah Weinstein, sits on the board of Gavin Newsom’s wife’s California Partners Project. There is nothing that Gavin Newsom can’t grift.”
Now this could be all perfectly above board. They really could be planning to do large purchases of diapers to get a discount and putting all the money to it’s intended purposes. Oh who am I kidding? Newsom is as corrupt and incompetent as the day is long on the summer solstice. This is yet another way for the ruling elites in Kalifornistan to loot the taxpayers.
