Our GPS system is wearing down

  • Resumen

  • Much in our modern lives depends on GPS. But the United States’ GPS system is getting old and hasn’t kept up with international competition. We’ll get into how this leaves the U.S. vulnerable to national security threats. And, new data shows that as abortion protections have eroded across the country, more young women have been getting sterilized. Plus, one nonprofit’s work to give kids who’ve aged out of foster care a bona fide college move-in experience, and a women’s soccer stadium’s surprise success story.

    Here’s everything we talked about today:

    • “Why GPS Is Under Attack” from The New York Times
    • “Rate of Young Women Getting Sterilized Doubled After Roe Was Overturned” from MedPage Today
    • “Move-In Day Mafia Helps Kids From Foster Care Settle In College” from Black Enterprise
    • “No One Wanted to Finance Their Stadium. Now Every Game Is a Sellout.” from The Wall Street Journal
