Stupid people running our country:
"It runs in the marriage, I suppose.
On Wednesday, first lady Jill Biden was in California, visiting a pop-up vaccination site for farmworkers. According to
The New York Times, she was lending her support to agricultural workers who are pressing for priority access to COVID-19 inoculations.
Beyond that, she was there to try to rally the union base around President Joe Biden’s agenda, particularly the massive, $2 trillion infrastructure program

If you want a better example from a native speaker of the language, here’s Dolores Huerta — co-founder of the UFW and the woman who responsible for “sí, se puede” — explaining how it she coined it during Chávez’s 25-day water-only hunger strike in Arizona back in 1972:"
