Stupidity is a lack of intellectual capacity, an inability to learn. Ignorance is a state of not knowing, a state that can possibly be changed with communication and education. We can make better use of our time and energy if we can spot the difference. (Hint: True magat = Stupid)

Trump Can’t Cap Overhead Rate on NIH Grants to Research Universities, Appeals Court Rules
