Maybe start with Alabama which was the first state in recent history to flat out refuse to accept a SCOTUS ruling.

This has been tried multiple times across numerous jurisdictions. Consistently it’s been found that giving poor people money makes them less poor in the long run. This seems to be an unsavory result, however, so politicians let the experiment retire never to actually learn from the results and draft policy.

This experiment is going to work and then nothing will come of it only for another jurisdiction to try exactly the same thing again and find exactly the same results.

The myth of meritocracy is still too prevalent a belief.
