Oof, so many things wrong with this tweet, starting with the fact that the chart doesn't address the claim of the the image to which he's responding.
The claim is that all of those things could be afford on a single income. The chart doesn't look at individual income, but uses "family income" in both cases, hand-waving away protests by saying two-income homes were already common in 1953. That is debatable, and the tweet offers no evidence or basis for comparison, but again, does not address the claim of the original image, which involves a single income.
Smugly pre-declaring that you've made a case you haven't made, and gently mocking people trying to point out your error, it's not a good look.
