It's largely the alcohol.
Around 1% fetal alcohol effects in the US... up to 4% here, they reckon. But then you need to factor in that the people are concentrated in certain parts.
It really is about the IHC being in charge...
And it's hard, you see, because there is something so very socially inappropriate about saying anything about it.
It is one thing when IHC are in a minority and when there are resources (of time, care, attention) that can go into looking after people who (in some respects) lack the ability to take proper care of themselves.
It is another thing when IHC becomes the social norm so that the way they look after themselves becomes a lifestyle option...
It is another thing when IHC is put in charge of all kinds of people to be in charge of how other people are allowed to look after themselves...
And you could spend all the time there is trying to explain to people in charge why you need this or that or why this and that isn't working and there just isn't a capacity to understand, at all. It's just a pointless waste of time.
And now I've probably offended someone and I deserve to be murdered in my sleep.
Because the social norms...
Yeah.
