Well, lets say you owned a car and your car has worn out tires. Now, let's say enterprise rents out that same car only the tires are good. Rent car for whatever the rate is, I'm guessing 15-20 a day, then you take the tires and rims off that rental and swap with yours. Boom a new set of tires for 20 bux

I’ll just speak to this from a personal perspective. It’s absolutely true, when you’re a male in a mentally or physically abusive relationship you start to lose your sense of power, self worth, and self esteem. For me, I never felt physically threatened really. I could easily over power my girlfriend, but she would always hit me and mentally abuse me with very little reason. Being hit by her didn’t usually hurt too bad, it was more of the fact of being disrespected and not cared for enough that she would do it. After years of this it finally got to a point while we were drinking one night and she got in my face and was physically and mentally abusing me, and I slapped her. The police came and I got taken away and charged with domestic battery.
In court, there’s no way you can play it so that a large male seems justified in doing something like that. Really, there is no justification for it, but at the time it felt like a much needed release for the years of torture she put me through. I had 3 months of house arrest, 52 weeks of domestic battery classes, 3 years of probation, and thousands in fines and lawyer fees along with a permanent conviction on my record. At first I felt really guilty and terrible. Even though this is exactly what she had done to me for years, somehow I’m the one in trouble. My classes showed me that even though I was the one being abused, I played a big part in this by staying around in the relationship and not just leaving. I ignored the red flags, I ignored the signs, and I ignored my own feelings. What I did was terrible, and I can’t even believe that was me. I still do feel like a victim in this whole situation but I’ve learned so much about myself and what to watch out for in the future. I feel like the whole legal and support system revolving around this topic is heavily influenced by government funding and is hugely biased to supporting women to the point where as a male you’re not going to like the outcome if you step out of line.
It was a tough life lesson, and it has been a huge setback to my life, but I’m happy to say I’m no longer with her and attempting to rebuild and become a much better person that I know I am. The abuse goes both ways and I feel like there’s not enough push to have men speak out or acknowledge they too are being abused.

That's not a lot of money to suffer from serious complications if the vaccine has flaws. Damn, I don't know if I could ever be part of trials like this. I would just worry too much
