"Garry's List" for dark money (this is an established political term, look it up!) donations. Basically you can donate anonymously to a SuperPac.

Software? I'm not aware of anything.

A site where he complains about rich people being charitable, among other things.

Looks like this is getting downvoted, but it is absolutely true.

Garry Tan is fully aligned with Elon Musk in going after MacKenzie Scott's charitable giving, making spurious arguments that she's doing it in the wrong way when they are all just running cover for the fact that she's one of the few at that level of wealth being charitable at all these days.

Silly woman, she should give her money away the right way, which I guess is by attempting to buy political power.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47042593 - HN discussion (5 comments) on that particular rant of his. And it looks like you were one of the few people to comment on it, so really this is for other people who are missing the context of our comments.

1920s, Henry Ford: "I want to build automobiles any man can afford, even the workmen in one of my factories."

2020s, techbros: "Here's why it's a huge problem for non-billionaires to have things."

		Um. Here's what Henry Ford was actually doing in the 1920s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dearborn_Independent The robber barons weren't better or more moral. They were afraid of a powerful US government that brought them to heel under popular public sentiment. That's all it takes to have good things.
