    @bystander

    I'm noticing that trend, too.

    Years ago I used to date a lawyer who was embarassed to admit that he worked for a large insurance company when we first met. He joked it was 2 strikes against him. He later discussed that when a driver was being sued for $400,000 for a small fender bender they liked him being there on their side, even though technically he was defending the $250,000 the company would have be on the hook for.

    I see nothing "immoral" about his job.
