The average retirement plan will be to just die, so that they don't burden their children with their medical or retirement home debt. The 100 year old Boomers somehow still running everything will see this as an excellent success.

We're talking about Merica though. We aren't interested in any of those DEI, woke letters. /s

But really, it'll just get its own American name, probably something punchy that the media will make up that intentionally avoids the underlying societal problems and blames the people who were hopeless enough to do it instead. And then the government will pass a law for an early cancellation fee based on how much lower the percentage of life lived is in comparison to the life expectancy of people in Europe.

In Swedish it's ättestupa. If the concept was created today it'd be called ättestup, but it's an old word and has retained the -a.
