Health insurance literally profits from not helping people as much as possible. I have no idea how anyone can think this is good, unless they profit from it too

Yeah, not having enough teachers could be a real issue, causing oversized classes

I reckon it's like any other subject. Depends on whether the teacher gives a fuck and/or has the resources to make it engaging and useful for kids

If you drink a whole canister of gas, that's enough to cover your nutritional needs for the rest of your life!

Sounds better than turning into whatever Trump is

Yeah, but specifically the atium is very close to the luck potion in how easy it makes it for the user to just rewrite their immediate future (at least, in combat). All the other stuff could be roughly equivalent to your average wizard's spell arsenal.

Also, you will not regret finishing the series. It's a ride and a half

See: Mistborn, where you have a very expensive resource that, when ingested by a person that can use that universe's magic, gives one an ability to peek a few seconds into the future. That's is more or less what you are describing.

Oh, and Mistborn magic system is based on ingesting different metals and alloys, and basically turns one into a supercharged Magneto from X-Men, if Magneto also got superstrength, supersenses and the ability to manipulate emotions. Despite how wacky it sounds, it's an extremely well thought out and consistent magic system.

Belarus was actually always Ukrainian territory, historically...

I mean, if that excuse works for russia, why not us?
