'There's a word for it, you hacks': Vox admits 'things are getting more expensive'

Welcome to the (much more expensive) party, pal. . .

Much to the chagrin of the White House and the alleged 16-cent savings on this year’s 4th of July cookout, Vox explains that “it’s not your imagination” and “things are getting more expensive”:

It’s not your imagination. Things are getting more expensive. https://t.co/VdlNAEspGB

a general increase in prices and fall in the purchasing value of money. https://t.co/IGliIpYRXZ

Just 4% of Republicans said wages were their top concern. https://t.co/wJEH6YLr8o

We expect they’ll double-down on this:

But… but… sixteen cents! https://t.co/6GfBw8TDgA

But we would like the White House to answer it:

Jen Psaki, call your office. https://t.co/WVmjM2UDqY
