California’s nanny state is taking infantilization to a new level. Starting this summer, the state plans to provide 400 “free” diapers for new parents when they’re discharged from the hospital.Gov.

He described diapers as the continuation of previous initiatives to deliver “free” school meals, “free” preschool for 4-year-olds and expand “free” after-school programs.
