From not knowing the people to serving production traffic including structured network wiring, cage buildout, rack construction and shipping, and all of the other “little things”.

Via Cake on FB. “They have perverted medical science and our legal system to such an extent that deadly street drugs like marijuana are now decriminalized and available to our children at any bus stop. [… …] Hipsters fetishize clothes above drugs, while for hippies it’s the opposite.” I was certain this was an Onion-worthy spoof for the first half of it.
