This appears to be using a figure for 1984 median household income that was already adjusted for inflation, then adjusting it again to give a false figure. Nominal median household income was $22,415 equaling $67,115 in June 2023 dollars or $55,828 in 2021 dollars. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA646N https://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/cpicalc.pl?cost1=22%2C415.00&year1=198401&year2=202306 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA672N

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1687551324945072129

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
