More on the Davos Pity Party

They're having a good old fashioned pity party over there in Davos:

“Life is hard enough,” according to Swiss banking executive Sergio Ermotti, “without people “constantly bashing banks.” The UBS chief executive made those remarks at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. “I think this constant lecturing on ethics and integrity by many stakeholders is probably the most frustrating part of the equation,” he said, “because I don’t think there are many people who are perfect.”

Yeah, "life is hard" for the "imperfect" super wealthy.
