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.
All this corporate lobbying and bribes says there’s more money in corruption than innovation and competition.
Its how you know your democracy is dead and your economy is a zombie.
As a CEO it is easy to compete when your competition is suffering from tariffs and all you’re suffering from is sore knees and a bad taste in your mouth.
