LA County is proposing a universal basic income that would give $1,000 per month to 1,000 residents.
The Board of Supervisors will vote on the three-year pilot program on Tuesday.
Lawmakers are advocating for recurring payments to ensure economic stability beyond the pandemic.
While the idea of a universal basic income (UBI) dates back hundreds of years, providing recurring aid to Americans is growing in popularity today, especially given the financial toll the pandemic has taken on the country.
And Los Angeles County might become the next part of America to turn the UBI idea into a reality.
But what if it was permanent?
Some Democrats and economists want this to be the new normal, saying that recurring aid would ensure equitable economic recovery and sustainable growth, even long after the pandemic is over.
Insider reported on Thursday that a fourth and fifth stimulus check could cut the number of Americans in poverty in 2021 from 44 million to 16 million while helping close imbalances in poverty, income, and wealth between white Americans and Americans of color.
Here are the main arguments in pushing for permanent aid to Americans since last year:
Universal basic income and Andrew Yang
While the idea of a universal basic income (UBI) has reemerged in popularity in recent years, Insider reported that the policy itself dates back to the 16th century, when Spanish-born humanist Juan Luis Vives advocated for a system of unconditional welfare. And even Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. declared his support for basic income at a Stanford lecture in 1967.
The Unsuccessful First Marriage of Catherine of Aragon
In 1501, when Catherine and Arthur were 15 years old, the pair was married at the Old St Paul’s Cathedral and subsequently lived at Ludlow Castle in England. Six months after their marriage, Arthur died unexpectedly at just 15 years of age, leaving Catherine, who was now the Princess of Wales, a widow. This put the arrangement between England and Spain in jeopardy and so arrangements were hastily made to marry her to Arthur’s younger brother Henry VIII, who was five years younger.
During this time, any woman married into high-status society was expected to have a dowry with her upon marriage. The dowry money would be given to the husband and his family to support the young couple. Often dowries were used as a type of bribery to have a woman married off to a rich and powerful family. Catherine was no different, and when she was married to Prince Arthur, her dowry was 200,000 ducat, a silver or gold coin used to trade.
