Can you afford to evacuate ahead of a disaster?

We are just at the start of hurricane season, and we're already seeing the danger and tragedy brought on by storms. There's another cost that gets much less attention, but it's a gamble everyone in the path of a storm has to make. Today on the show, we examine the decision on whether or not to evacuate from an oncoming disaster. Based on the digital story: 1 reason people don't evacuate for hurricanes? Rising costs, and they're getting pricier [https://www.wwno.org/coastal-desk/2024-10-18/1-reason-people-dont-evacuate-for-hurricanes-rising-costs-and-theyre-getting-pricier] Related episodes: Hazard maps: The curse of knowledge [https://www.npr.org/2024/05/07/1197964461/hazard-maps-climate-change-home-ownership] Unintended Consequences, Hidden Deaths [https://www.npr.org/2020/07/06/887914002/unintended-consequences-hidden-deaths] The brewing recovery in Western North Carolina [https://www.npr.org/2024/12/11/1218506697/beigie-awards-hurricane-helene-wnc-asheville] For sponsor-free episodes of The Indicator from Planet Money, subscribe to Planet Money+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org [http://plus.npr.org/].

episode Will the tax cuts pay for themselves? artwork
Will the tax cuts pay for themselves?

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is now law. It's expected to cost the government a pretty penny. The Congressional Budget Office predicts a $3.4 trillion increase in the deficit over ten years. This is driven by significant tax cuts, including extensions of those made in 2017. Trump's advisors argue the tax cuts will pay for themselves. Today on the show, we speak with the guru on that school of thought, Arthur Laffer, and dig into some of those claims with a tax economist.

Why can't we insure trees?

In the U.S., we insure most everything we sell. So why not trees? Today on the show why trees aren't insured like other crops, and what it would take to get that insurance with extreme weather events on the rise.

One of the cheapest ways to save a life is going away (EXTENDED VERSION)

This episode was first published as a bonus episode for our Planet Money+ listeners. Today, we're making it available for everyone! U.S. aid helped Eswatini and Lesotho, two small countries in southern Africa, in their efforts to treat and curb the spread of HIV. Will President Trump's "America First" foreign policy threaten years of progress there against the virus? In this bonus episode, we're featuring an extended conversation between Darian Woods and Jon Cohen, senior correspondent with Science magazine. They talk about Jon's reporting trip to Eswatini and Lesotho in May and the early impacts he saw of the Trump administration's foreign aid cuts. We also hear about the critical role of PEPFAR (the U.S. President's Emergency Plan For AIDS Relief) in the global response to HIV/AIDS and some other things we couldn't fit into the original episode. You can read Jon's recent article in Science magazine here [https://www.science.org/content/article/u-s-aid-helped-two-african-countries-rein-hiv-then-came-trump].

How ICE crackdowns are affecting the workforce

The Trump administration's crackdown on immigrants might be the most profound change in the American labor market right now. Industries that rely on immigrant labor are especially vulnerable, as ICE continues to raid businesses believed to have unauthorized workers. Today on the show, we talk to representatives from the agriculture, construction and long-term care industries to ask: Are people still showing up to work?
