I thought this would be a thread about that Omar Woman.
She needs them for her head.

The Austin Diaper Bank serves 10,000 Central Texas families and distributes close to one million diapers each year. The need has doubled since last year...
“Diapers are a basic need item just like food, water, shelter for every parent,” McDaniel said. “If you ask any mom what would you do if you didn’t have enough diapers? They would panic it is terrifying and it can lead to illness and sickness and trauma for families.”...
A lot of the clients that we serve have told us some pretty awful stories where they are trying to find a way to provide a diaper for their babies,” McDaniel explained. “That ends up being a T-shirt, or a towel, even paper towels, and sometimes they will take a disposable diaper, wash it out in the sink and hang it out to dry in the sun for the day and then reuse that diaper and put it back on the baby.”

This is one organization that could use a heated lecture by Greta Thunberg.
Not needed.
Just firmly insist the “woke” millenials learn to use a toilet. Damn, they’re in their twenties now.
THe UT students must be utilizing this program disproportionately.
Total load of BS.
Their WIC, EBT, SNAP more than cover the cost of diapers....and MUCH more.
When our first daughter was born we had a fairly good income but still my wife who was pretty careful with money, insisted that we use regular cloth diapers.
I still remember rinsing dirty diapers in the toilet then dropping them in a diaper pail. She probably washed them every other day. Washing, using bleach, using fabric softener etc. We did take disposables when traveling.
Yes, no doubt diapers a big expense on the budget for low income folks, but 1 in 3???? Be serious.
What percentage of the Adult American population can be deemed “terminally dependent?”
10%?
25%?
50%?

Zero sympathy.
In the good old days they were made of cloth, washable and reusable and after the tot grew out of them they made damn good rags. Progress sometimes is really crapola.
And if these ripoffs don’t cover their little posteriors and the one’s who spawned them can’t buy diapers, then they need to quit reproducing. Diapers are the least of expenses for a child growing up, compared with what it cost to rear and educate a child during its lifetime. If they can’t feed ‘em (and diaper ‘em) don’t breed like rabbits.
Deport all the illegal aliens and the diaper needs will decrease.
I did the same. Cloth diapers should always be on hand.
“Deport all the illegal aliens and the diaper needs will decrease.”
My thoughts exactly. I’m not contributing to help illegals stay here.
“Diapers for Anchor Babies”.... they could use a cute sailor logo. There are millions of them in Texas.
I hope they’re passing out birth control pills with the diapers.
I don’t want to sound heartless but why should I donate anything to a person who decides she going to have a baby without the means too support that child.
I hate these corporate fundraising drives for these”charities”.My employer has these drives going on monthly.collecting for diapers to school materials.I wish my employer would donate more to me.
1 in 3 want free stuff.

Why? Because you are pro life.
