How do I hold the wire, iron, solder and the board if I only have two hands?
This! I found a nice set of “helping hands” and they’re… really helpful!

Thank you kind internet stranger!
Step 2 has never been very clear to me and this diagram doesn’t seem to explain it either.
Do you touch the tip of the solder to the iron, the pin, or the pad?
Do you push the tip of the solder down into the pad, draw it up along the pin, or pull it away as it melts?
Why does the solder sometimes flow onto the iron instead of staying on the pad?
I’m all for single payer in the US but this diagram is a bit misleading.
What I assume you’re really gutting are profits and shareholders for insurance companies. (Good, because healthcare in my opinion should not be a profit driven business in any respect.)
What I fear, however, is who is in power at any given time might change the care you receive if such a system isn’t setup with safeguards and ironclad mandates.
For instance, Republicans would absolutely attempt, through legislation, executive order, and the courts, to implement an effective federal ban on abortion or healthcare for trans and LGBTQ groups by changing how/if a single payer system would cover these services.
I would also be worried about the public availability of coverage data such that lists of frequent providers for these services are easily obtained and become a tool for harassment by religious zealots.
Or, imagine an anti-vaxxer put in charge of the program during the next pandemic.
How do other countries deal with these issues? Or, have politics become so broken in the US that this is a somewhat uniquely American problem?
