Why do so many traders turn into YouTube content creators? Iโve never understood wealth and fame desires of others. Wealth to live a comfortable life sure but why would you want to tell the world? Iโll never share my income or trading style on the internet. ๐ฅธ
Andrew's family has reached out to me personally and I just want all of you to know they are INCREDIBLY grateful for how many of you shared this post.
City officials have refused to meet with them and have instead doubled down on their rejection of homeschool graduates.
They have filed a petition with the Civil Service Commission and are fighting back and legal action is likely next.
They have set up a GoFundMe to help with legal expenses.
I have personally donated. My son is being homeschooled for the first time this year and I want the future to work out for both him and people like Andrew.
I think it's important.
No pressure to give, but if you are able, here's the link to do so.

@BrianEFisherV Idk but ever since last year Iโve had to limit caffeine intake. Better sleep and no heart palpitations as a result of the switch. I save the caffeine intake for chocolate. ๐ซ ๐คฃ
๐จ#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a 22-year-old who runs into BURNING BUILDINGS as a volunteer firefighter was told he isn't qualified to be a paid firefighter...
...because he was HOMESCHOOLED.
Then the city changed the job posting to cover it up.
His name is Andrew Coates. He's 22 years old, in Nebraska.
Right now, today, he runs into burning buildings as a volunteer firefighter for Cedar Bluffs Fire. He is a state-licensed EMT.
He is doing the job. For free.
All he wanted was to get PAID to do it. In his words: "Make a career out of it would be the goal. To get paid to do what you love."
So he applied to the Fremont Fire Department.
And in April, the city rejected him. Why?
Because his high school diploma says he was homeschooled.
That's it. That's the whole disqualification.
Not his EMT license.
Not his fitness.
Not his record.
Not his experience pulling people out of fires ALREADY!!
...how he was educated.
The job posting he applied to said "graduation from high school."
That's all it said.
He graduated high school.
He has a diploma.
And AFTER they rejected him, the city went back and added the word "accredited" to the job description.
His own fire chief, the man who has watched Andrew work, showed up to defend him:
"I feel the city of Fremont is really missing out here, and in my mind, because of his homeschooling, you guys are discriminating against him."
Over THIRTY homeschool families showed up to stand behind this kid.
And the Civil Service Commission? They said it isn't their job to touch city policy.
Homeschoolers are literally a generation of kids who read ABOVE grade level, who work with their HANDS, who volunteer in their communities, who show up for their neighbors.
And this young man is the proof.
At 22, he's a certified EMT and a volunteer firefighter, while plenty of his peers are on a couch.
When your house is on fire at 3 a.m., I promise you will not ask the man dragging your children out where he went to high school.
You will not ask if his diploma was accredited.
You will thank GOD he came.
Andrew isn't even fighting for himself anymore. His words:
"I think now it's turned into we want to make sure that every homeschooler has an equal opportunity."
That's a better man than the policy that rejected him.
Fremont, you have a licensed EMT and an active firefighter begging to serve your city. And you turned him down over paperwork, then rewrote the paperwork to cover it.
Fix this.
Hire him!!!!!!!

VENEZUELA IS PREPARING TO MOVE 31 TONNES OF GOLD WORTH $4 BILLION FROM LONDON TO NEW YORK
THE GOLD HAS BEEN FROZEN INSIDE THE BANK OF ENGLAND FOR SEVEN YEARS
NOW THE GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION ARE CLOSE TO A DEAL TO RELEASE IT
BUT THERE IS A CATCH
VENEZUELA WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SELL IT
THE GOLD WOULD REMAIN UNDER U.S. OVERSIGHT AND BE USED AS COLLATERAL FOR GOVERNMENT BORROWING
VENEZUELA SPENT SEVEN YEARS TRYING TO GET ITS GOLD OUT OF BRITISH HANDS
NOW IT MAY END UP IN AMERICAN HANDS INSTEAD
Haha. Totally me. Iโm the one trying to sleep but just canโt because of the wins. I can really only sleep during the waiting periods of what seems like losing.
Why canโt I find a way to pay for my elderly parentโs stay in an assisted living facility that doesnโt affect their Social Security and Medicare benefits that they earned while working? While also giving me or my company a tax deduction for the payments. Why isnโt this a thing?
