They’re purple (blue is the other option) because veins are harder to see under purple light. They’re used to deter drug use, from my understanding.

Would anyone have any recommendations for books/textbooks of this style and the comment's Elementary Calculus: An Infinitesimal Approach, by professor Jerome Keisler on Algebra/PreCalc & Trig?

I've always wanted to learn math but my teachers could never explain it to me in a way that clicked and any textbook I've read couldn't either. These two above really seem to be in my wheelhouse.

Trying to get to an agent is practically impossible. I called recently to make an account change, but after I went through the automated system I got an "I'm sorry, we see there is an outage in your area. Please wait for the outage to be resolved and then call back."

Insane.

Off topic - is this webpage impossible to back-button out of without double-clicking? I really, really hate that.

You might see a lot of that personally, but the Utah legislature has a dearth of "health bro influencer" types, especially in its Senate.

The chief sponsor of the bill went to BYU.[1] The co-sponsor of the bill went to BYU [2]
