California committed $20 million ($7.4 million approved, $12.5 million proposed) to a free diaper program with nonprofit Baby2Baby, and one of Baby2Baby's co-CEOs sits on the board of Newsom's wife's nonprofit. The real question isn't whether the connection exists — it does and is confirmed — but whether the program is actually wasteful. Baby2Baby claims it produces diapers for 80% less than retail, but critics argue comparable bulk retail prices are significantly lower, suggesting the state is overpaying. The post uses loaded language ('boondoggle,' 'grift') that frames this as corruption rather than cost-inefficiency, which is a judgment call on disputed economics rather than an established fact.
