    I think it's hard to make these judgements about what is good vs. bad. A lot of times it's a feel good judgement based on a vague populist idea of who the bad guy is.

    A few years ago when I was freelancing at a big well-known design agency, they announced the entire company was dropping all work for financial companies for "moral reasons". This was right after the financial crisis when banks had a bad rep. But don't banks also do a lot of good by investing peoples' money and retirement?

    As far as me, I have done work for pretty much all of them: gun companies, drug companies, Tea Party Super PAC ads. Haters gonna hate :\
