I saw a LinkedIn thread just the other day that called it the "suicide prevention industrial complex," and that phrase will stick in my head like "orphan crushing machine" or "leopards eating faces"
Legitimately curious about this - not sure how these words would apply.

It's sort of like how we give enormous amounts of money to cops (institutionally), instead of funding the safety nets that actually reduce crime. Actually (edit), those analogies are kind of related, because the same safety nets are important for driving down both of these things. Yk, because people are more stable in other ways when they aren't in desperation all the time.
You might say it's the difference between emergency services and emergency prevention.
Edit: I did eventually find the source. https://linkedin.com/posts/tabitha-lean-5786011a3_nspc26-act...
