Well, people who own lots of shit had to be properly compensated for owning lots of shit, otherwise - or so we are told - “they wouldn’t invest”.
It’s funny how we’re told to “work hard” and there’s even lots of criticism of the “workshy poor” all the while the entire economic system has been changed to maximize the returns of rent-seeking (which is the single most parasitical economic activity there is) at the cost of the returns from working AND the purchasing power of said returns (because life essentials like housing are way much more expensive).
I hadn’t heard the Wolf’s wife part, but I’d always heard said that it was a “Fox’s wedding”. Which is pretty similar. I’ve heard sunshower and that “The Devil’s beating his wife” but the fox one was more fun so it stuck with me.
Funny, but we use the same thing about the Devil beating his wife in Romania as well. At least in Transylvania we do. It’s surprising to see this being used in the US as well. I wonder where it originated from.
It’s definitely for looks. In Nz you’re not limited the same for claiming as ‘work vehicle.’ I’ve driven Toyota Corollas and Mazda 6s as work vehicles which are better vehicles in terms of boot (trunk) size, so this is definitely a ‘look at my big car’ thing.
If you have a desktop just buy a bigger antenna. If you have a laptop, just buy a an external WiFi card and attach a bigger antenna to it. If you only have a phone, then you’re shit out of luck. (I suppose that you could find an external WiFi card with Android support, plug it into the USB-C port, and then attach a bigger antenna to it)
Usually when someone says “apartment wifi”, it’s a few wireless routers spread around the complex with no access to the ethernet ports. Which is why it tends to be shitty if your unit isn’t close to one. Hence why you need a bigger antenna.
