It's no fun to protest on an empty stomach.
Michael Bloomberg
If a hurricane strikes, we can blame the president for not being there we can blame Congress and FEMA we can blame the state governments but in the end, it's the mayors and the local city governments that have to be prepared for emergencies and be prepared to act.
Michael Bloomberg
We have an expression in New York City government - In God we trust, but for everyone else, bring data. It's so easy to pick up a sound byte and say, Oh, yeah, yeah, I believe that, without really thinking.
Michael Bloomberg
Central planning didn't work for Stalin or Mao, and it won't work for an entrepreneur either.
Michael Bloomberg
I was a Democrat before I was a Republican before I became an independent and I never changed my principles.

When you go to Washington now, you can feel a sense of fear in the air - the fear to do anything, or say anything, that might affect the polls, or give the other side an advantage, or offend a special interest.

In 1975, Congress passed a law requiring fuel efficiency standards to double over 10 years, with incremental targets that auto manufacturers were required to meet. That was the responsible approach, and it worked. But since 1985, we've done nothing - even as technology has moved at light speed.
Michael Bloomberg
The problem of dealing with the financial industry is being addressed today. You can measure it with interest rates coming down. You can measure it with the quantity of loans, and that sort of thing. The problem is, that nobody wants to take the loans. Once the banks are willing to give it, that's only half the problem.
Michael Bloomberg
Progress is not inevitable. It's up to us to create it.
Michael Bloomberg
Cities with clean air gain an economic advantage, because where people want to live and work, businesses want to invest.
Michael Bloomberg
Entrepreneurship is having an idea to do something great and not entirely have a plan on how to do it but the drive and will power to make it work
Michael Bloomberg
We may not always agree with every one of our neighbors. That's life. And it's part of living in such a diverse and dense city. But we also recognize that part of being a New Yorker is living with your neighbors in mutual respect and tolerance. It was exactly that spirit of openness and acceptance that was attacked on 9/11, 2001.
Michael Bloomberg
[Jeb Bush] could, as I describe it, run the railroad.[John] Kasich could run the railroad. Hillary Clinton can run the railroad. Running the railroad is the most important thing. You have got 4 million employees you've got to make the system work, and it doesn't work very well.
Michael Bloomberg
Nobody is going to delegate a lot of power to a secretary that they can't control.
Michael Bloomberg
You know, if you look back in the 1930s, the money went to infrastructure. The bridges, the municipal buildings, the roads, those were all built with stimulus money spent on infrastructure. This stimulus bill has fundamentally gone, started out with a $500 rebate check, remember. That went to buy flat-screen TVs made in China.
Michael Bloomberg
We're paying more for the privilege of getting sick and dying early. Once again, it makes no sense. And once again, no one in Washington is talking about how to fix it.
Michael Bloomberg
If you think of all the publicity about the terrible tragedy of Virginia Tech, we have a Virginia Tech in this country every day. It's just spread across 50 states.
Michael Bloomberg
Basically, the UBR is a relic of an earlier vision for UDDI. The original vision for UDDI was as a standard that would help companies conduct business with each other in an automated fashion. The idea was that companies could publish how they wanted to interact, and other companies could find that information and use it to establish a relationship.
Michael Bloomberg
We all must recognize that homeland security funds should be allocated by threat and no other reason.

You bet I did and I enjoyed it.
