Removed/flagged from Hacker News/ Y Combinator news.

Tan, the CEO of the vaunted startup incubator Y Combinator, announced Wednesday he had spun up a dark-money group called “Garry’s List” that he described as a “voter education group” that is “dedicated to civic engagement, voter education and support for common-sense policies and candidates” in a press release. Such groups give donors a way to anonymously support causes without giving directly to a candidate or a measure.

Based on the press, I'd say inventing an award and making a small gold trinket gift will cover you for at least a year.

That's how we know that Tim Apple's knees are not as sturdy as some of the other CEOs
