All you can eat economics

You might expect to find economic concepts in the pages of an economics textbook. But you know where you can really see a lot of economic concepts in action? Buffets.

Here at Planet Money we believe there's a lot of economics going on at the all-you-eat buffet, tucked in between the mountains of brisket and troughs of mashed potatoes. From classic concepts like adverse selection, sunk costs, diminishing marginal returns, to more exotic economic mysteries, like the flat rate pricing bias.

Today on the show, we're headed to the place where the modern buffet may have been born: Las Vegas. Our mission? To feast ourselves on all the economics we can handle at the all-you-can-eat buffet. And along the way, an economist and fellow buffet-lover will teach us his hyper-rational strategy for optimizing his buffet experience.

Today's show was produced by James Sneed and Nick Fountain with help from Emma Peaslee. It was edited by Jess Jiang, engineered by James Willetts, and fact-checked by Sierra Juarez. Alex Goldmark is our executive producer.

Ep. 1170 - From Bud Light To Target, We Are Making 'Pride' Toxic For Brands

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Target has suffered massive losses as conservatives boycott over their literally satanic Pride campaign. We are succeeding in making "pride" toxic for brands. But how did it get to this point? And where do we go from here? We'll answer those questions today. Also, Ron DeSantis crashes the servers at Twitter during his campaign launch event. A new report shows how google searches related to sexual orientation and gender identity have risen 1300 percent since 2004. And a Republican state senator in Louisiana single handedly kills a bill that would have banned the castration and mutilation of children. Turns out that he gets a lot of donations from Big Pharma. Must be a coincidence.
