Summary
In this episode, Michael dives into the diaper debacle in California, where the government is providing free diapers to new parents. He questions the logic behind this program, pointing out that charitable organizations and the private sector were already solving this issue. Michael also touches on the potential corruption and cronyism involved in the program, citing the governor's wife being involved with the nonprofit receiving the contract. He argues that this is a prime example of government overreach and the dangers of the non-governmental organization (NGO) model. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
