Friendly reminder that the sunshine list was introduced in 1996.

$100,000 in 1996 is equivalent to a bit over $180,000 today.

$100,000 today is equivalent to $55,500 in 1996.

So this metric should have been updated and it's stupid to think people making $100,000 today are rich.

People are going to argue about government workers making more money while the real rich continue to profit off us.
