    Long term care and senior types of insurance dies over night.

    Pay for your job will get adjusted so that you basically will have to work until you die. Company owners will not allow you to retire. They will find a way to screw you over.

    People will care a little less about long term injuries. If the injury won’t really affect you until later in life it won’t be a cause for concern.

      That’s certainly how Americans would respond. /s

      “How does society change” implies that there are humans older than 50 when this comes into effect. There are ~3000 billionaire with the average age being 67 years old.

      Way I see it… the world economy just got a 21 trillion USD stimulus package.

        Doubt that is what happens, unless that billionaire is really stupid.

        They already have their estate (money, properties, etc) in a trust fund. When the current beneficiary dies the trust has a secondary beneficiary listed. There is no inheritance tax, the next person in line just gets access (the benefits) to the trust. If that beneficiary dies, the next person on the list just gets the benefits of the trust.

        Generally speaking who ever is the current beneficiary lists who gets it after them. Kind of like how we do a will.

      I mean, if they could do that, they would have already. People dying at either 50 or ~80 only means so much.
