LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — On the surface, the initiative looked like a significant gesture that highlights the NBA's commitment toward addressing racial justice reforms.
The NBA's Board of Governors announced they will give $300 million ($30M a year for the next 10 years) to the newly-created NBA Foundation , which is "dedicated to creating greater economic empowerment in the Black community."
Miami Heat swingman Andre Iguodala, who is also the vice president of the NBA players union, looks at that gesture differently.

Trump’s aluminum tariffs are ‘bad economics’: Canadian industry minister -
Slapping a new round of tariffs on Canadian aluminum comes down to “bad economics” by the Trump administration, says Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains.
“This is bad economics. This is not good for the Canadian economy or the American economy,” said Bains, calling the measures “counter-intuitive” to the intent behind the renegotiated NAFTA deal.

Singapore releases second-quarter 2020 GDP, economic data
Singapore on Tuesday reported that its economy contracted more than initially expected and narrowed its economic forecast for the full year of 2020.

Opinion | Trump Sends In the Economic Quacks - The New York Times
Unfortunately, one of the measures was vacuous, one trivial and one unworkable. And the fourth may do substantial harm.
The unworkable measure supposedly provides new aid to the unemployed, who have lost pandemic benefits because Senate Republicans don't want to provide them; but the announced program would be an administrative nightmare that might take a long time to put into effect and would require partial matching funds that strapped states don't have. Remember, states had a very hard time implementing the first round of aid to the unemployed, leaving millions in the cold for many weeks.
Paul Krugman: Trump's payroll tax cut is 'the hydroxychloroquine of economic policy' -
President Trump's bold move to bypass Congress by signing his own executive order and memorandums for coronavirus relief over the weekend drew plenty of strong reactions from both Democrats and Republicans .
His actions to defer payroll taxes and replace the expired supplemental $600 unemployment benefit with a plan that would pay up to $400, in particular, drew questions about their effectiveness, and whether the president has the right to overwrite the legislative branch of U.S. government.
