It’s all about the me’s.
En google search gav "Medical examiner" som en af mulighederne. Er der nogen der ellers har hørt om udtrykket "me's" før.

Thanks, John, for the context. Now I'm prepared to try an answer for you!
I think it has something to do with the idea of "selfishness" and lack of opportunity for the underdogs in society. There are two basic views in cultures, "I" and "We". This here is expressed as "the me's", i.e. those who want the best for themselves, but don't care about others. His reference to "my retirement fund" is a case in point; he only has £100 but those who administer the fund will be well paid.
See a further real life example of the term in the web link.
HTH!

I would expect that this is the answer based on your other question in this area.

: Lyder lidt usandsynligt, at Fry har investeret i retsmedicinere.

Discussion
This segment is between two friends, Fry and Bender (a robot). A salesclerk for a store also takes part.
1: 01:28:00.03 01:28:02.08 02.05 37
(Fry) It’s time to check on
my retirement fund.
2: 01:28:04.13 01:28:06.21 02.08 39
(Fry) Damn! Still only 100 dollars.
3: 01:28:07.00 01:28:09.13 02.13 41
(Bender) Yo, Fry! It’s all about the me’s.
4: 01:28:09.18 01:28:13.19 04.01 69
(Fry) He’s right. I’m gonna roll this into
some higher-yield investments.
It is really unclear to me what me's could be.If it means "medical examiner"
I supposed it should be in capital letters.
