In a speech in May to graduates at his alma mater   Princeton University   he recounted a childhood memory : when   driving with his grandmother   a heavy smoker   he calculated by how many years her addiction would reduce her life expectancy . Announcing the result from the back seat   he expected praise for his deft math . But his grandmother just burst into tears . Ad Policy The Amazon founder ’ s geeky obsession with numbers evidently formed early   and despite the glimmer of discomfort revealed by his Princeton anecdote   his fervently quantitative take on the world clearly still predominates . In a letter accompanying the 2009 Amazon annual report   for instance   he sets out a mind - boggling 452 goals for the company in the coming year . The word " revenue " is mentioned only eight times   yet revenue growth is central to the Amazon story . Expanding both internationally and across other products — nonbook sales represent 75 percent of total Amazon turnover — Amazon ’ s global business has increased fifteenfold over the past decade   28 percent last year alone . Sales in 2009 topped $ 24 . 5 billion . To put that in perspective   in 2008 total sales by all US bookstores were less than $ 17 billion . Amazon is today   by some margin   the largest bookseller in the world . Related Article Commentary : Colin Robinson on Amazon ’ s Bad Business The Nation on Grit TV Of all the goals in the report   Bezos proudly points out   no fewer than 360 deal directly with customer needs . The customer has always been king in the Bezos ethos   and the formula for keeping the king happy is straightforward . " Amazon gives the customers what they want : low prices   vast selection and extreme convenience  " he told a shareholders ’ meeting . On these terms   Amazon ’ s success is stellar . It has more than 2 million titles on sale ; bestselling books are routinely discounted by 50 percent or more ; and it ranked first in BusinessWeek ‘ s " customer service champs " awards last year . But dig beneath the surface of the numbers and a more complex picture emerges   one suggesting that   stats notwithstanding   readers and writers may ultimately not be best served by Amazon ’ s race to become the biggest   cheapest and most convenient bookseller around . Amazon has not grown to where it is today by being touchy - feely . Sure   it adopted the informal trappings that characterized many of the new technology start - ups of the 1990s . But if  Bezos ’ s  first desk at  the company  was an old door on trestles   the business conducted from behind it has been as ruthless as anything  he  encountered in  his  previous gig as a Wall Street broker . Soon after Amazon ’ s launch in 1995    Bezos  told  his  employees that  he  wanted a place that was both " intense and friendly " but that " if you ever had to give up ‘ friendly ’ in order to have ‘ intense  ’ we would do that ."

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sam ? Walmart confirmed Thursday that it is closing dozens of Sam's Club warehouse stores â a move that a union-backed group estimated could cost thousands of jobs â on the same day the company announced that it was boosting its starting salary for U.S. workers and handing out bonuses.
The world's largest private employer said it was closing 63 of its 660  Sam 's Clubs over the next weeks  with some shut already. Ten are being converted into e-commerce distribution centers  according to a company official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of the decision publicly.
He said it was too early to say how many people overall would lose their jobs since some will be placed at other Walmart locations or rehired at the e-commerce sites. Making Change at Walmart  a campaign backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union  estimates that 150 to 160 people work at each Sam's Club store  meaning the closures could affect about 10 000 people.
Lauren Fitz  22  said she was at her other job as a church secretary when a colleague texted to say that  the Sam's Club  where they both worked in Loveland  Ohio  had closed. Fitz had been pleased earlier to read the news that Walmart was boosting starting salaries and offering bonuses.
"I thought  'this is really cool.' And then to find out that my store is closing " said Fitz  who said she had worked as a sales associate in the jewelry department for two months. At home  she got a call from her manager and had a letter in the mail saying the store had closed and she could seek employment at another Sam's Club or Walmart store.
On Twitter   Sam's Club  responded to people's queries by saying  "After a thorough review of our existing portfolio  we've decided to close a series of clubs and better align our locations with our strategy."
President Donald Trump cheered the announcement with a tweet  saying  "Great news  as a result of our TAX CUTS & JOBS ACT!" White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders later said she would not comment on the Sam's Club closings but that the wage increases were a sign that the tax measures "are having the impact that we had hoped."
Walmart announced years ago that it would actively manage its store portfolio as it strives to put a dent in Amazon's dominance online. With Thursday's closing  that strategy is now extending to Sam's Club.
The company said the wage increase benefits all hourly U.S. workers at its stores  including Sam's Club  as well as hourly employees at its websites  distribution centers and its Bentonville  Arkansas  headquarters. The one-time bonus between $200 and $1 000 will be given to Walmart employees who won't receive a pay raise.

Answer: Neutral


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity La David Johnson ? Sgt.  La David Johnson's  funeral was held in Florida on Saturday.
His death has become ensnared in controversy after a Congresswoman said President Donald Trump was disrespectful to  Johnson 's widow during a condolence call on Tuesday.
Some of the 1 200 mourners exiting the church after the service said the portrait of Sgt.  La David Johnson  25   was joined on stage by photographs of  his  slain comrades. The four died Oct. 4 in Niger when they were attacked by militants tied to the Islamic State.  Johnson 's family asked reporters to remain outside for the service.
Staff Sgt. Bryan C. Black  35  of Puyallup  Washington; Staff Sgt. Jeremiah W. Johnson  39  of Springboro  Ohio; and Staff Sgt. Dustin M. Wright  29  of Lyons  Georgia  were killed along with  La David Johnson  in Niger.
 La David Johnson 's pregnant widow  Myeshia  had held the arm of an Army officer as she led her two young children and her family  dressed in white  into the Christ the Rock Community Church in suburban Fort Lauderdale. The modern hymn "I'm Yours" could be heard coming from inside.
 Johnson 's sister  Angela Ghent  said after the service that "it don't feel real" that her brother was killed.
The fight between Trump and Wilson had taken the focus off Johnson  whose widow is due to have a daughter in January. Sgt.  Johnson  told friends she will be named La'Shee.
 Johnson 's mother died when  he  was 5;  he  was raised by  his  aunt.  His  family enrolled  him  in 5000 Role Models  a project Wilson began in 1993 when she was an educator where African-American boys are paired with mentors who prepare them for college  vocational school or the military.
"We teach them to be a good man  a good husband and a good father. Sgt.  Johnson  typified all of those characteristics " said mourner Carlton Crawl  a public school consultant who is one of the program's mentors.
In 2013  a year before  he  enlisted   Johnson  was featured in a local television newscast for  his  ability to do bicycle tricks  earning the nickname "Wheelie King."  He  said  he  learned  his  tricks by going slow.
"Once you feel comfortable  you could just ride all day "  he  told the interviewer.
The war of words between the president and Wilson began Tuesday when the Miami-area Democrat said Trump told Myeshia Johnson in a phone call that her husband "knew what he signed up for" and didn't appear to know his name  a version later backed up by  Johnson 's aunt.
Wilson was riding with  Johnson 's family to meet the body and heard the call on speakerphone. She was principal of a school Johnson's father attended.

Positive
