I agree with your overall arguments and your position, just not the way you have portrayed it.

It would be trivial
she could have easily
getting vaccinated is simple, cheap, and as anonymous as you would like it to be
A shitty spouse has less control over this choice than the vast majority of choices in your life.

All reads like blaming the victim or not acknowledging that there can be barriers you possibly haven't even considered between a desire to act and an ability to. The goal absolutely should be about making personal decisions even in the face of adversity, but when you reduce it like it's just them being lazy, and not recognizing the full extent of their reality, it doesn't come across as empowering. Maybe decisions are also being made with consideration of their children and their needs which also affects the calculus in making otherwise personal choices.

It's not a universal truth that you can just choose to get a vaccination without making an appointment or needing to involve insurance etc.

In a hypothetical extreme scenario, imagine having to weigh the risks between getting the vaccine that will potentially save your life and unexpectedly getting an appointment reminder text/email or follow-up contact that alerts the controlling partner and they potentially end your life for the "transgression."

The vaccine being "cheap" is also not universal and if you aren't allowed personal discretionary spending anything >$0 isn't cheap enough.

Totally legitimate user,
You only link to central24 so I have to assume you have some connection to it; its/your publisher is listed as ZwadTech but the footer link (zwadtech.com) doesn't resolve and general web searches for that term only returns the central24 website. Where do you source your information for your totally legitimate articles? I noticed there aren't any authors listed.

Well, I'm sorry dad, I won't live in your microwave oven world any longer! You people have carpet on your hearts! No dad, it's the truth, look at that ham! It's flavorful, it's juicy, it's well prepared, it's a universal truth - that's effin' good ham, dad!

There's a great (and short) video about encryption back-doors by CGP Grey: "Should all locks have keys? Phones, Castles, Encryption, and You." (Piped link).

"No matter how much we might wish it, there's no way to build a digital lock that only angels can open and demons cannot. Anyone saying otherwise is either ignorant of the mathematics or less of an angel than they appear."

EDIT: I still hate you Piped bot.

Someone else asked if this was a real thing (I also had my doubts) so I did some quick searching -- as far as I can tell this is legit. I also found a macro photography site that has a bunch of adorable pictures.

Can't speak for the veracity, but I've got two magnets with the following:

1934

Average income = $1,601.00
Loaf of bread = $.08
Gallon of gas = $.10
Gallon of milk = $.45

New car = $625.00
New house = $5,972.00

1958

Average income = $4,650.00
Loaf of bread = $.19
Gallon of gas = $.24
Gallon of milk = $1.01

New car = $2,155.00
New house = $11,975.00
