Additionally, Originalism is in direct conflict with the Founders intentions. They knew their ideas would grow stale and new ideas would need to take their place. From Thomas Jefferson,

>[N]o society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation.

In fact, in that little writing he argues constitutions and laws should only last 19 years. Not sure I'm quite that far, but the 'intent' couldn't be more clear. Jefferson believed he was wildly unqualified to govern the world of his grandchildren, let alone the world of 2023.

When it comes to positions like mayor or PotUS there's not really an option.

Who's gonna get the votes? Candidate A who says "I will do what I can to work with City Council, municipal agencies, and the State, but I can't promise anything, since the Mayor's office has limited powers to..." or Candidate B who says "Mexico will pay for the whole thing!"

Candidate A doesn't even get trotted out

I'm so happy someone brought up Pizzano's! My immediate thought, as well.

My friends and I also theorized it was a front for the Russian mob (although I think we found out they weren't Russian?) My friends got wings there every week as a tradition, mostly because we were right there.

The food could actually vary in quality quite a bit. And not by menu item, but at random. Sometimes the pizza or fries would just be inexplicably better or worse.

They also had weird stuff like pinball machines and old quarter toy machines that would cycle in and out.

They are gone now, which is sad in a nostalgic way.
