The last one is a significant concern. Huge trucks and SUVs are so prevalent and they’re so big it seems like the drivers aren’t as aware of their surroundings. I’d love to see us move to taxing based on vehicle weight/mileage since it’s the true measure of how much wear a vehicle puts on the roads. You want that insane Hummer EV? You’re paying 20x what the guy in a Civic is paying.
Even the Wikipedia article points out sweet muffins are only really different in that they’re usually not frosted and I’ve seen plenty of bakeries do that too.
They may have once been different, but modern American muffins and the mixes bought in stores frequently have more sugar than cake batter while using the same ingredients. They’re just breakfast cake.
