This was the way it worked up here (in QC) with the 81s. If you sold shit that could draw attention to you, your organization or suppliers, you were swiftly taught not to. They had decent quality control, but as their grip slipped so did quality. Now we get fentanyl overdoses weekly.

  I googled so y'all don't have to: "QC" means Quebec. 81 means Hell's Angels as per sister comment.

    I'll be honest, this was helpful for me even as someone who lives about 2km from the Quebec border. I was uncertain as you don't often see it in the Hacker News context.

    We gotta take back the letter Q man, it's either us or Qatar and I don't see them campaigning. There's dozens of us!

    I actually never knew what this was from. Unironically useful context

    Plus it’s a weird abbreviation! Like Ontario isn’t “OO”. Or does the C in Quebec stand for Canada? That’s kinda weird too tbh.

    Until you explained I was having so much fun thinking of a quality control department in the 80s dealing drugs on the side.
