Stephen Colbert discussed troubling inflation figures released this week: prices have jumped 8.5% since last March, the highest rate of inflation in the US since 1981, affecting especially food, shelter and gasoline. “So you shouldn’t be affected as long as you don’t eat anything, be anywhere, or go any place,” the Late Show host mused on Tuesday evening.
