A banker admits they like others to think for them and that all people are lazy.

Yes, it is an old admission. It is possible I'm taking liberties with the context, but if so, then there's a certain hypocrisy surrounding our global banker-driven society (147 firms) and the variety of managers routinely cracking the whip and telling us to do more for less (explicitly a financial loss).
