Example Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bullock ? WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Montana will sign contracts only with internet service providers that honor ânet neutralityâ firms   Governor Steve Bullock  said on Monday  the latest effort by a state to undermine a Federal Communications Commission order rolling back rules introduced in 2015.
 Bullock  signed an executive order requiring state contract recipients to adhere to so-called net neutrality  which barred internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic or offering paid fast lanes  also known as paid prioritization.
A spokeswoman for the FCC declined to comment on the decision by  Bullock   a Democrat.
âThere has been a lot of talk around the country about how to respond to the recent decision by Federal Communications Commission to repeal net neutrality rules  which keep the internet free and open. Itâs time to actually do something about it â  Bullock  said in a statement. âThis is a simple step states can take to preserve and protect net neutrality. We canât wait for folks in Washington DC to come to their senses and reinstate these rules.â

Example Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald J. Trump ? But  President Donald J. Trump  hardly looked like a grand wizard a week ago today. On January 8   he  hosted Alveda King  the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; Isaac Newton Farris Jr.  Dr. King’s nephew  and Bruce Levell of the National Diversity Coalition for  Trump . All three of  Trump ’s guests are black.
“I did about 200 cataract surgeries with a group of surgeons in Haiti and the same in Central America ” Senator Paul  an ophthalmologist  said on NBC’s Meet the Press yesterday. “And when we asked  Donald J. Trump  as a private citizen to support those trips   he  was a large financial backer of both medical mission trips.” Paul continued: “I think it’s unfair then to sort of all of a sudden paint him  ‘Oh well   he ’s a racist ’ when I know  for a fact  that  he  cares very deeply about the people in Haiti because  he  helped finance a trip where we were able to get vision back for 200 people in Haiti.”
Whatever  Trump  said or didn’t say  the reaction has been beyond incendiary  with the words “racist” and “racism” erupting like volcanos around the Pacific Ring of Fire.
 Trump’s  alleged language  if uttered  was unfortunate  vulgar  and unpresidential  although  he  hardly would have been the first chief executive to use profanity in office.  His  supposed words apparently were aimed at sh**hole nations  rather than sh**hole people. The latter would have been inexcusable.
It is widely understood that certain nations are garden spots  and others are not. It is fair to say that Haiti  El Salvador  and a tragically high number of African countries are non-garden spots. It also is perfectly appropriate to ask whether America would be better off with immigrants from such impoverished and embattled places or from prosperous nations  such as Norway  which  Trump  reportedly mentioned. It likely was top of mind  given Norwegian prime minister Erna Solberg’s visit and joint press conference with him on Wednesday.
Whatever he stated or didn’t   President Trump  should learn these lessons from this experience  and repeat them to  himself  daily:
“Every word I say matters.” This is true in public  in private  and around the clock  until  he  leaves the White House and begins work on the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.
 Trump  should think of  himself  as Jim Carrey in the 1998 film The Truman Show. Except when  he  is in bed   Trump  should behave as if every breath  he  takes were being broadcast live around the globe.
 Trump  needs to remember that Democrats are not  his  pals. They almost universally crave  his  failure  resist  his  program  and want to yank  him  from office — never mind the 304 votes  he  legitimately won in the Electoral College. Anything  he  says in front of Democrats (and even some Never  Trump  Republicans  alas) can and will be used against  him  in the court of public opinion.  Senator Durbin  should be condemned for publicizing (or distorting)  his  private conversation with  Trump   thus sabotaging efforts to reach a DACA deal. But this should be no more shocking than if  somewhere in Illinois  a rooster crowed at dawn.
 Trump  needs to remember that Democrats are not  his  pals.
Ned Ryun of American Majority has an excellent idea: Whenever  President Trump  meets with Democrats   he  should summon news cameras and let them stay until Democrats leave. Trump displayed his leadership skills to almost universal applause when he allowed the media to broadcast live for 55 minutes from the Cabinet Room  as he negotiated immigration and border security last Tuesday. Doing this regularly when Democrats are around will prevent them from offering journalists an alternative version of events. With cameras present  Trump should be on his best behavior. And the American people will benefit from Senate-floor-like transparency inside the White House. This would be unprecedented and gain Trump considerable respect for opening a virtual sunroof atop the West Wing.
Trump’s job is to recall at all times  with the relentlessness of a bloodhound chasing an escaped Death Row inmate  that he must not give free knives and anvils to people who hate his guts and literally would cheer if he woke up dead tomorrow morning . (And the Left need not bother to deny this. Everyone knows this is true  as evidenced by the Left’s repeated fantasies about Trump being shot  stabbed  and decapitated.) These people would call  Trump  a racist for ordering vanilla ice cream.  He  should remember this without fail and act accordingly.
If  Trump  becomes blurry about this fact   he  should remember the very first fake-news story to emerge on  his  watch. On January 20  during  his  very first day as president  Time magazine’s Zeke Miller reported that Trump removed a bust of Dr. Martin Luther King from the Oval Office. This confirmed that  Trump  was a racist who couldn’t wait to evict that troublemaking black from  his  new office.

Example Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Thaler ? In their book and in a blog (nudges.wordpress.com)   Mr. Thaler and Mr. Sunstein  favor nudging people to save more  eat better  weigh less  invest more sensibly  pay down debt  avoid hazardous mortgages  drive safely and wear bike helmets â a list that expands as new ideas and new problems conducive to nudging emerge.
In a phone conversation   Mr. Thaler  said that carefully applied nudges might help ameliorate some of the problems that led to the financial crisis. Some nudges need to be more forceful than others. For example  rigorous public disclosure of leverage (the ratio of debt to capital) would be a burden. But it might be necessary to induce the people who run hedge funds  insurance companies and big banks to behave more sensibly.
âDisclosure does help at every level â  he  said. âMaybe itâs not a panacea  but thatâs not a reason not to do it.â
 Mr. Sunstein and Mr. Thaler  say that this apparent contradiction is reconciled through what  they  call âchoice architecture.â This is the deliberate imposition of structure in an environment â etching flies in a urinal â to induce people to make better choices. Consider a cafeteria where healthy foods like fruit and yogurt are placed in a prominent location  while junk foods are relegated to an out-of-the way spot. People are free to choose  but they are being nudged toward healthier decisions.
Similarly  Mr. Thaler and Shlomo Benartzi  an economist at U.C.L.A.  applied these theories to 401(k) plans with the âSave More Tomorrowâ program  which gives employees the option of increasing payroll deductions in the future. This arrangement acknowledges the human desire to enjoy life now and put off self-discipline â a tendency observed by Aesopâs fable of the ant and the grasshopper and confirmed through much recent behavioral research. With âSave More Tomorrow â you can have it both ways â consuming as much as you like now  while automatically increasing your savings rate on the next Jan. 1  and in every successive year.
Nudging derives from research by Daniel Kahneman  a Nobel laureate in economics; by Mr. Kahnemanâs late colleague  Amos Tversky; and by Mr. Thaler and others over several decades. Mr. Kahneman  a psychologist  gives  Mr. Thaler  considerable credit for the birth of behavioral economics.
 Mr. Thaler  has found that people often donât act rationally and in their own best interests  as is assumed by traditional economic models.  He  calls such idealized people âEcons â as distinguished from âHumans.â Econs are walking computers  and behave according to the laws of classical economics; Humans are quirky  like the people you meet on the street. Humans may know that they should eat less and exercise more  but they often miss the mark. They may know that they should save more  but often donât. And so   Mr. Thaler  says  most of us would benefit from a nudge.
DISCLOSURE aimed at enabling people to make more informed choices is often  Mr. Thaler âs preferred solution for complex issues involving markets.  He  cites disclosure rules imposed on mutual funds by the Securities and Exchange Commission that  imperfect as they may be  have allowed third-party firms like Morningstar and Lipper to create Web sites comparing fees and performance. The point is to make it âeasier for Humans to make decisions as if they were Econs â  he  said. Such comparisons arenât really possible now when it comes to hedge funds  for which standard  reliable data is not available.
In financial markets  where evidence of irrationality has been abundant lately   he  says  he  would increase regulations  but very carefully. Thereâs no evidence   he  said  that regulators could actually determine appropriate leverage for specific investments  for example  and âheavy-handed regulationâ could shut down financial markets and weaken the economy further.
âThe trick is to try and figure out a way of forcing these firms to disclose more of what theyâre doing without giving away so much that they can no longer make a living â  he  said. Such information would help individuals decide whether to invest in the funds  and would help regulators assess overall risk imposed on the financial system and the economy. In addition   he  said  disclosure itself often has a salutary effect on behavior because people tend to be mindful of the opinions of others.
As a principal in  the firm of Fuller & Thaler Asset Management    he  has applied  his  own theories  looking for behavioral biases that may affect specific stocks or market sectors. Two mutual funds managed by  the firm  havenât done very well lately  though  with returns over the last year that have slightly lagged the miserable stock market.
âWeâre not exceptions â  he  said with a chuckle. âWeâre just Humans.â
