It's disgusting that a bank with the most patriotic name ever made it's fortune by ruining the finances and lives of so very many Americans.

I believe you may have confused this thread with the Judge Judy off topic judgement show. We are the Skyscraper page. We discuss buildings, not political opinions not pertinent to the topic.
