Ethan Miller/GettyDee Snider originally granted Trump permission to use "We're Not Gonna Take It" during his campaign trail, saying, "The song 'We're Not Gonna Take It' is a song about rebellion, and there's nothing more rebellious than what Donald Trump is doing right now." He was respectful enough to call me and say, 'How do you feel about me using this?'

Small-cap stocks could finally break out above their large-cap peers in 2024, according to Goldman Sachs portfolio strategists. Small caps lagged large caps by a wide margin in 2023, with the Russell 2000 climbing about 15% compared to a 24% gain for the S & P 500. Snider ties the optimistic outlook for small-cap stocks to Goldman's macroeconomic outlook for the coming year, which anticipates 2% growth in U.S. gross domestic product. The forecast 15% return for the Russell 2000 this year also matches the index's historical median return of 16% during presidential election years going back to 1984, Goldman argued.

Political Cartoons View All 1277 Images“I have very little interest in seeing an avatar concert of Kiss, or anyone for that matter,” he said. It in no way is a replacement for the live concert experience.

Many Pride organizers across the country say high-profile brand backlashes, restrictive legislation and heightened threats against LGBTQ people have fueled record crowd turnout this year. Most of the Pride organizers NBC News spoke with, including Snider, declined to identify corporate sponsors that shrunk their involvement or visibility, concerned about alienating important financial backers. Like Indy Pride, Pride organizations are typically nonprofit organizations that also offer year-round services to the LGBTQ community, such as grants, educational events and support for political activism. Josh Coleman, president of Central Alabama Pride in Birmingham, said some longtime corporate sponsors dropped out this year, including Wells Fargo. Kendra Johnson, executive director of Equality NC, said threats against the community and Pride events have risen dramatically throughout North Carolina.

Businesses are expected to use AI to boost productivity and their profits. The adoption of AI could mean higher wages for workers — or that they lose their jobs altogether. In the years ahead, generative AI including ChatGPT could disrupt — not necessarily replace — 300 million full-time jobs across the globe, according to Goldman Sachs. Over the next decade, that AI productivity boost could increase S&P 500 profits by 30% or more, Ben Snider, a senior strategist at Goldman Sachs, told CNBC last week. "AI will make superstar companies more productive and profitable, but those profits might be achieved at the expense of other companies," he said.

The strength in these VIPs lifted the average hedge fund to a 3% return in early 2023, Goldman said. Microsoft and Amazon remained the two most popular hedge fund long positions last quarter.

Water volume on the Great Salt Lake has dropped by more than two-thirds since pioneers once settled the Salt Lake Valley. Much of the lake surface is now exposed. Photographs of empty marinas and the cracking crust of the lake’s surface often illustrate the lake’s decline. The rivers and streams that feed The Great Salt Lake are overallocated, which means farmers and other water users collectively have rights to more water than what typically flows through each year. Spencer Cox last November closed the Great Salt Lake basin to appropriations for new water uses, effectively capping the line of water users wanting to use what flows into the lake.

☆ 'Welcome to Chippendales' review: Kumail Nanjiani stars in a Hulu limited series that looks a little under-dressed for success

CNN —Hulu has carved out an impressive niche of salacious fact-based limited series, including several with a true-crime hook. “Welcome to Chippendales” checks off those boxes, but in a less-appealing package that’s surprisingly lifeless, and even with its trashy selling points looks under-dressed for success. The story begins with Indian immigrant Somen “Steve” Banerjee (Kumail Nanjiani) who is introduced as a gas-station/quickie-mart attendant before he gambles his savings by opening a high-end backgammon club. Ultimately, though, “Chippendales” is defined by its trashier aspects, while its assortment of supporting players and their soap-opera problems too often feel as if they’re just killing time. “Welcome to Chippendales” premieres November 22 on Hulu.
