Everything Everywhere Daily - The Election of 1788
Since the ratification of the United States Constitution in 1788, there have been 60 presidential elections, which have been run every four years.
Over time, a system was developed for the election of the president, including how parties select a candidate and how votes are selected. Some of this has been done via legislation, some via tradition, and some via constitutional amendments.
However, before any of this was established, the very first presidential election was held, which was unlike any other.
Learn more about the Election of 1788 and how the United States figured out how to elect a president on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

More or Less: Behind the Stats - Do fossil fuels get $7 trillion in subsidies?
Governments around the world have promised to fight climate change. But are they also pumping an absolutely massive amount of money into subsidies for fossil fuels? In 2022, an IMF working paper estimated that global subsidies for fossil fuels totalled $7 trillion. But when you dig into that research, you find that this number might not mean what you think it does. We explain how they reached that conclusion, with the help of Angela Picciariello from the International Institute for Sustainable Development, and Nate Vernon, one of the co-authors of the IMF paper.
