☆ The Broncos paid Russell Wilson $39 million to go away — now he's starting for a Super Bowl contender
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-03 | by ( Rohan Nadkarni | Rohan Nadkarni Is A Sports Reporter For Nbc News. | ) www.nbcnews.com time to read: +4 min

When the Pittsburgh Steelers made the midseason decision to switch starting quarterbacks, the move wasn’t exactly celebrated. Releasing Wilson cost the Broncos $85 million combined against their salary cap this season and next — the biggest cap penalty ever. The Broncos still had to pay Wilson $39 million this year after they cut him, minus whatever salary he made if he signed with another team. That allowed Pittsburgh to scoop him for a bargain one-year, $1.21 million contract, with Wilson getting $37.79 million more from the Broncos. After having averaged 20.7 points per game with Fields, Pittsburgh is scoring 28.7 with Wilson.

Profitable stock is "one of the best targets for charitable giving" if the organization can accept it, said certified financial planner Michael Lofley with HBKS Wealth Advisors in Stuart, Florida. When filing taxes, you claim the bigger of the standard deduction or your total itemized deductions. Since 2018, there's been a higher standard deduction, and only about 10% of taxpayers itemized tax breaks on 2021 returns, according to the most recent IRS filing data. For 2024, the standard deduction is $14,600 for single taxpayers and $29,200 for married couples filing together. Your total itemized deductions must exceed those thresholds to claim the charitable deduction.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said Monday he is anticipating an interest rate cut in December but is concerned about recent trends on inflation that could change his mind. That would follow a half-point cut in September and a quarter-point reduction in November. “As of today, I am leaning toward continuing the work we have started in returning monetary policy to a more neutral setting,” Waller said. Waller said he will watch incoming employment and inflation data closely. Even with the slowing progress on inflation, Waller said broader economic health has him feeling like it will be appropriate to continue to ease monetary policy.

The latter is a new five-day Thanksgiving box office record, surpassing the $125 million "Frozen 2" earned in 2019. "Wish" tells the origin story of the wishing star seen in several Disney movies.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Monday said the artificial intelligence-driven PC upgrade cycle doesn't seem to have hit just yet, even as it's been about four years since the last refresh phase. "The big AI-driven PC refresh cycle seems to be on hold, even though they're confident it'll play out," Cramer said of companies that sell the products. "It sounds more like a normal upgrade cycle than anything revolutionary, which I've found to be a tad disheartening." While Best Buy's results largely disappointed, Cramer noted that PC sales were more encouraging than the quarter itself. "Putting it all together, it's clear that the PC upgrade cycle's going more slowly than any of these companies would like, but is it a lost cause?"

The battleground polls also weren’t far off the mark, either, although their misses were slightly larger than what we saw in the national polling. What else the polls got rightBeyond signaling that the 2024 presidential election was competitive and uncertain, the polls nailed the political atmospherics that shaped the contest. Additionally, the polls foretold many of the key demographic trends that ended up defining the 2024 election, including Trump’s gains with Latino voters. That was a major story in the 2024 election: There were more self-identified Republican voters than Democratic voters.
