I knew docs couldn't write legibly worth a damn, but they can't spell either?? 😛

oops, looks like my brain is fried today already from board studying. ha ha. not gonna fix it, screw it, its a message board; this isnt the ER.

Then it won't matter that it is apologizes, not apoligizes. 🙂

Oh, and blame Chicago for this particular one. "The... bank issued a 111-page report to comply with a Chicago ordinance that requires companies that do business with the city to disclose whether they profited from slavery, which ended in the U.S. in 1865."

Chicago is run by Jesse Jackson so figure it out. :roll:

I think it is silly of them to do. It is just going to open up a bunch of problems. Why should we apologize for something we didnt do?

I think it would be pretty funny if they put out a statement about how well banks that no longer exist did 150 years ago and they took the credit as their own.
