Breathe
By Pamela Cerdeira
Leopoldo Abadía is the person who coined the term Crisis Ninja to refer to and explain in a simple way the mortgage crisis that started in 2008, NINJAS are those people with no job, no income or assets (no income, no jobs, no assets) who were offered mortgages. Leopoldo is not an economist, but he faithfully followed all the information that had to do with the subject in the newspapers, kept his notes and suspected that economists hide in words what should be available to anyone who has managed at least his own house.
Just as Leopoldo was suspicious of elaborate terms, I have always been suspicious of politicians who do not answer questions clearly, it took me many years to realize that when I did not understand what they were telling me, it was because they were trying to hide something. I have learned that almost anything can be explained with pizzas and that the relationships we have with our governments and the relationships their characters have with each other are ultimately so essentially human that they always have things to teach us about such basic matters as family, friendship and, of course, love.
