California Passes New Law Requiring Booster Seat For Children Up To Age 16
California is putting teenagers as old as 15 through a state-mandated seat-belt fit test—and those who fail it will have to remain in a child restraint such as a booster seat.
The new rule takes effect January 1, 2027. It applies to children ages 8 through 15, meaning it reaches right up to a teenager’s 16th birthday.
The law stops short of ordering every 15-year-old into a booster. Teenagers who pass all five steps may use an adult belt, while those who miss even one step will need a child restraint.
The story exploded across social media Saturday as Californians compared Sacramento’s latest mandate with the state’s much larger public crises.
Bill’s Commentary:
“These are hedge funds, the treasuries will be sold as quickly as they were bought…”
Hedge funds hold a record share of the $30 trillion Treasury market. What could go wrong?
- Hedge funds held a record 7% of marketable Treasurys as of end-2025.
- Regulators warn high leverage and basis trades could amplify Treasury market turmoil.
- Hedge funds can boost Treasury market liquidity, but their growing role also risks creating financial instability.
Bill’s Commentary:
“On silver”
Silver’s Biggest Paradox: More Gold Exists Above Ground—and Silver Is Still Ignored
Silver is still cheap—obscenely, almost comically cheap—and the public is being trained to ignore it because that is what people do at turning points: they stare at the rear-view mirror and call it analysis.
Silver’s ridiculous discount
At roughly $65 or below, silver remains:
- 49% below its nominal all-time high of about $120.
- 72% below its CPI-adjusted 1980 high of roughly $217.
- 92% below an M2-money-supply-adjusted equivalent near $774.
