Buy now, pay dearly? (update)
(Note: A version of this episode originally ran in 2022.)Every time you shop online and make it to the checkout screen, you see those colorful pastel buttons at the bottom. Affirm. Klarna. Afterpay. Asking: Do you want to split your payment into interest-free installments? No credit check needed. Get what you want, right now. That temptation got shoppers like Amelia Schmarzo into some money trouble. Back in 2022, she maxed out her credit card after a month of buying now and paying later. She’s not alone. Buy now, pay later is everywhere now. And you can finance almost anything with it. Your clothes, your furniture … even your lips. But if these companies don’t charge interest, how do they make money? In short, people buy more stuff using these services and so sellers are willing to pay up. Which makes buy now, pay later, something of a threat to credit card companies. Cue the tussle for your impulse-buying clicks. Today on the show, we find out how the companies work, who’s most likely to use these services and who’s getting a good deal. And a warning: those little loans will soon be on your credit report.

A new experiment in remote work … from the inside
When people in Maine prisons started getting laptops to use in their cells for online classes and homework, it sparked this new idea. Could they have laptops in their cells to work remotely for real outside world jobs, too??? And get real outside world wages?Today on the show, we have reporting from Maine Public Radio’s Susan Sharon about a new experiment in prisons: remote jobs … paying fair market wages, for people who are incarcerated.

Everything’s more expensive!! Pet care!! Concert tickets!! (Two Indicators)
People in the U.S. are feeling the financial squeeze, in part because of rising inflation, higher consumer prices and slowing job growth. The Indicator from Planet Money is tackling a special series on the rising cost of living. Today, two stories from that series. First, what’s making ticket prices go up? We look at the economics behind the ticket market and how “reseller bots” are wreaking all sorts of havoc. The industry is not a fan, and yet they do serve an economic function. And… why pet care costs have surged. It comes down to unique skills, people’s love for their pets and something called the “Baumol effect.” Related episodes: - The Vet Clinic Chow Down - What Do Private Equity Firms Actually Do? - Kid Rock vs. The Scalpers - Ticket scalpers: The real ticket masters Subscribe to Planet Money+ Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.

After the shutdown, SNAP will still be in trouble
This week’s SNAP crisis is just a preview. Tucked inside the giant tax-cut and spending bill signed by President Donald Trump this summer are enormous cuts to SNAP: Who qualifies, how much they get, and who foots the bill for the program. That last part is a huge change.For the entire history of the food stamp program, the federal government has paid for all the benefits that go out. States pay part of the cost of administering it, but the food stamp money has come entirely from federal taxpayers. This bill shifts part of the costs to states.How much will states have to pay? It depends. The law ties the amount to a statistic called the Payment Error Rate -- the official measure of accuracy -- whether states are giving recipients either too much, or too little, in food stamp money.On today’s show, we go to Oregon to meet the bureaucrats on the front lines of getting that error rate down -- and ask Governor Tina Kotek what’s going to happen if they can’t.Looking for hunger-relief resources?

The remittance mystery
For decades, the U.S. has been the single biggest source of remittances worldwide. A remittance is a transfer of money, typically from an immigrant to their family in their country of origin. But we are in the middle of a big, loud and very public immigration crackdown on those who are here without legal status. And that crackdown is disrupting the global remittance market. People who have come to the U.S. from a handful of countries — especially some Central American countries — have been sending more money back to their countries of origin. And it’s a bit of a puzzle because … you might think the opposite would be the case.As immigration plummets, we try to figure out why remittances are surging in some countries, and not others. And we learn why a surge in money sent home inspires joy — but also fear.Pre-order the Planet Money book and get a free gift. / Subscribe to Planet Money+Listen free: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, the NPR app or anywhere you get podcasts.Facebook / Instagram / TikTok / Our weekly Newsletter.Register here for our live Zoom event about our board game project on November 1st.This episode was hosted by Erika Beras and Greg Rosalsky.

Seed Oils: Should You Switch to Butter?
We’ve been told that foods like butter and bacon are bad for us — because they're packed with saturated fats. And top dogs in nutrition say that a better option is vegetable oil, like canola oil. But lots of people, including HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are saying hold on. They're arguing that saturated fats are actually the way to go. And they're claiming that those vegetable oils, aka “seed oils,” are incredibly dangerous. So — who’s right?? To find out, we speak to author and physician Dr Cate Shanahan, professor of nutrition science Jason Wu, professor of endocrinology David Schade, and Dr David Iggman. [REBROADCAST]

Daylight Saving Time: Should We End It?
Daylight saving time is ending, and the darkness is coming for us all. And many of us dread this time of year; we think that switching up our clocks sucks.

8. L’11 settembre e la guerra all’America di Bin Laden
La storia dell’attentato alle Torri Gemelle e della guerra all’America di Al-Qaida comincia molto prima dell’11 settembre 2001. L’organizzazione terroristica viene fondata nel 1988, dopo che il giovane Osama Bin Laden, rampollo saudita di buona famiglia, si convince che gli Stati Uniti siano i principali responsabili di tutti i mali che affliggono il mondo islamico. Sono moltissimi gli attentati organizzati in giro per il mondo in quegli anni, tutti con uno stesso obiettivo: i cittadini americani. La rete diventa sempre più ampia e grazie all’incontro con un uomo, nel 1996 in Afghanistan, viene costruito l’attentato più famoso della storia.

7. Il pugno di Nelson Mandela e l’Apartheid in Sudafrica
Nel 1990, Nelson Mandela esce dal carcere di Victor Verster a Città del Capo, dopo 27 anni di detenzione, e alza il pugno al cielo. È un momento iconico: dopo cinquant’anni di lotte, pacifiche e armate, e di sangue versato, in Sudafrica finisce l’era della segregazione razziale. L’Apartheid, contro cui Mandela e molti altri hanno lottato per gran parte della vita, appartiene finalmente al passato.

6. Il crollo del muro di Berlino e la fine dell’Unione Sovietica
Tra colpi di Stato, esplosioni nucleari, proteste e manovre politiche azzardate, il crollo dell’Unione Sovietica si è concretizzato in pochi anni, lasciando dietro di sé le macerie su cui è nata la Russia di oggi. Il crollo del muro di Berlino, il disastro nucleare di Chernobyl, la perestroika di Gorbaciov e il susseguirsi delle dichiarazioni di indipendenza sono solo alcuni dei momenti spartiacque che hanno segnato la fine della superpotenza che, insieme agli Stati Uniti, ha fatto la storia del novecento.

5. Golpe, sangue e desaparecidos: storia delle dittature sudamericane
Cile, Brasile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Perù, Paraguay, Ecuador, Argentina. Tra gli anni ‘60 e gli anni ‘70, la storia del Sudamerica è stata segnata da golpe militari e dittature sanguinose, appoggiate segretamente dalla CIA per arginare il successo delle forze di sinistra nella regione. In pochi anni sono morte decine di migliaia di persone, mentre altre sono semplicemente scomparse: sono i desaparecidos, vittime di un vero e proprio genocidio politico.

4. Come Israele si è preso la Palestina in meno di un secolo
Dalla guerra dei sei giorni a quella dello Yom Kippur, lo Stato di Israele ha una storia controversa che comincia ben prima della sua fondazione. È il 1897 quando si tiene il primo congresso sionista a Basilea, seguito dall’immigrazione ebraica in Palestina all’inizio del novecento. E poi la nakba, l’istituzione di Israele e i conflitti armati con i Paesi confinanti, che non hanno mai accettato la presenza dello Stato ebraico. Non è un caso che i terroristi di Hamas abbiano scelto proprio il 7 ottobre per il loro attacco.
