For the first time in months, Bill Maher didn’t use his “New Rules” segment to grind an axe about “woke”-ness or something similar, or talk about something connected to current electoral politics. Instead he made a pretty good argument for why people should stop relying on online shopping: It’s doing massive damage to the environment and contributing to our increasing isolation from one another.Of course, it is “Real Time,” which means during the latest “New Rules” segment, Maher did get some digs in at caricatures of “millennials” and “gen z,” but we’ll leave that for you to watch in the video, which is camping out at the top of the page right now.The segment, called “Shop Making Sense,” Maher began, “since America’s such an incredibly f—ed up place right now, let’s scale back our goal of making it great again and settle for let’s just make the mall great again.
