Hi, I'm John, I'm mayor. I need jobs and innovation to keep the city fair and strong and to modernize the city — and it's up to you and the ideas you generate to keep us one of the greatest and most livable cities in the world.

They came to me and said, don't you think we should kick Uber out of town — and some cities chose to do that; they were wrong. At the end of the day it was about sending a signal to the rest of the world that we were going to be embracing innovation, not turning it away.

That's not because of me — I try to provide leadership and try to be a champion for the sector — but it's because of our fantastic educational system, our open immigration system, and the hard work of a lot of people in this room and elsewhere.

The premium that will be placed on the education system should be placed on teaching people how to create a job, especially for themselves, as opposed to how to get a job.

One of the things we should spend our time doing instead of trying to put genies back into bottles is to be saying let's focus on how we can help the people who need a hand up who've been affected by this.
