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.
But nah… that wouldn’t let Gavin and his connected “nonprofit” girls running the show there cut ribbons, take photos, do galas and be friends with celebrities and brag about the “first-in-the-nation” program while skimming their cut for “administration” and “partnerships.”
This is peak government stupidity!!!
Spend way more money to feel good and look good, instead of just trusting parents with their own damn money.
We’re not helping babies. We’re funding another bloated nonprofit-government grift.
Math doesn’t lie. The diaper math is brutal.
What a scam and a joke!!!!!

It's not "parents money".
It's not luck.
It's consistency.
It's discipline.
I grind EVERYDAY to live this lifestyle.
Was really looking forward to seeing Flau'Jae, Gabby Williams and Kayla Thornton on the court together. Also looking forward to Jocyte if she plays this season
1. City or regional income taxes cover some services.
2. Some services are paid directly, depending on the location.
3. Everyone doesn't use every service.
4. People who don't own property don't have to contribute but still get the services.
5. They hike the rates arbitrarily and on unrealized capital gains. Property tax goes up with increased property value on an unsold property. Meanwhile, you don't see any changes in your access to services.
6. We still have to maintain the building and land, even the parts owned by the municipality.
We’ve spent $8 trillion in the Middle East
That’s 100 X annual federal spending on roads and bridges
Picture how great our country could be if we’d spent that $ here
Imagine how affordable groceries & housing would be if we hadn’t printed all that $

This isn’t complicated.
Separate the bills and vote on them individually.
one vote on the clean CR
one vote on the debt limit
one vote on disaster relief
one vote on farm bailouts
Radical right? Individual bills for each issue.
