I've read that Magnesium L-Threonate is better taken in the morning to help your brain function better during the day. So, I take this in the morning and Mg glycinate at night.

Your statements about "percentage of income taxes" are misleading. Two points:

1. Your 3% and 39% actually reflect how much more absolute income the rich generate compared to others. For example, if a rich person has $10 million in income and someone from the bottom 50% person has $100k in income, even a 15% income tax (for example) is $1.5 million and $15k respectively. Given our massive wealth inequality, your 39% income tax number tells us that the top 1% are capturing a massive chunk of the total income generated in the US. A quick quote from a 2021 Forbes article: "billionaires collectively hold two-thirds more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of all households in the United States, according to an analysis by the Institute for Policy Studies." - more wealth generates more absolute income.

2. By focusing solely on income tax, you're ignoring Total Taxes, which for example include sales tax. Low-income Americans face higher payroll tax rates than rich Americans. There are also many more tax-reducing benefits for the poor in our tax code, for example, Long-term capital gains and qualified dividends overwhelmingly accrue to the rich.

Cola is highly acidic, which causes gut problems, especially when drinking it on an empty stomach. It caused GERD for me and I had to take omeprazole to fix the damage. And, of course, I mostly stopped drinking cola, especially on an empty stomach.

Actually, studies have shown that placebos work sometimes even when people know. This is a great podcast about this topic and the page also has links to some studies: https://www.npr.org/2019/04/29/718227789/all-the-worlds-a-st...

For this use case, you might be better off using Windows VPS providers. For about $6/mo, you'll get a VM pre-installed with Windows 2019 server. Just google "Windows VPS" and you'll find tons of providers.

Some more detail on the hospitalized people below:

"One vaccinated, hospitalized COVID-19 patient had received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and three had received the Janssen vaccine."

"Four additional, fully vaccinated patients aged 20–70 years were also hospitalized, two of whom had underlying medical conditions."
