    Well, the ball joints are pressed into the spindle.

    Removal of the ball joint from the spindle seems to give people the most trouble. Not the control arms themselves.

    This is a much shorter way to say it than my page-long diatribe.

    Yes, please check for spelling/grammar, but also policy and technical review.

    It took me way to long to realize you weren't talking about some sort of battery charger, lol...

    For the Sheriff?

    Here's another diatribe:

    Just stay home. Please. Seriously. We welcome your visit once this fiasco has subsided.

    I hate all this "freedom" talk. "I'm not going to stay home cause this is 'Merika" and the government can't tell me what to do.

    There is a church here in Sac that told the government to leave them alone and stop telling them what to do. You know what we call them? For 71 of them and the Pastor: Infected. For one parishioner: Dead.

    Almost everything you'd want to do out here is closed now anyway.

    The six feet distance is NOT so you can continue going out like normal "as long as you keep 6 feet away." It is to mitigate risk for those times when you HAVE to go out, like to get food or medicine. Not so you can go out to the bar "as long as you keep 6 feet away".

    This isn't the government instituting martial law because they don't want you saying mean things about the government.

    This is doctors and medical professionals telling people to stop cross contaminating, getting people sick, and killing them.

    We have at least 3x as many cases and deaths as the country of origin, and the gap is widening. You wanna take a guess as to why that is?

    The bold there?

    Not true.

    You may be in a "free" state, county, city, whatever, but you would have to abide by the rules for the county, city, state you decide to travel to anyway.

    So what if YOU don't die? You can still transmit it, and kill others.

    Yes, most people likely will catch it at some point. The point of all this social distancing stuff is that not everyone catches it at the same time and overwhelms the hospitals, which is absolutely happening now. It's also to try and delay it long enough to develop a proven treatment/vaccine before more people are infected.

    Some people seem to be willing to sacrifice old people and the immunocompromised so they can still have the "freedom" to roam around town and do 'Merika stuff.

    I am not.

    There is plenty of reliable information out there, as long as you aren't listening to the POLITICIANS. The politicians seem to only be saying whatever will boost their stock portfolio, or what they think will get them re-elected.
