I prefer a hammock rather than a plastic chair. The hammock stretched between two MBTs offers the public passing through the checkpoint a feeling of comfort.
This is very motivational. I really enjoy being my own boss and I think I have what it takes (minimal customer service skills, plastic chairs, rusty AK that has suffered 30 years of abuse and neglect by west African rebels), but I remembered that we have a gang here that already runs a similar operation that calls themselves "the government".
Yes. Avoiding to discuss how to set this up BEFORE total collapse, especially in the so-called 1st world, does reduce this to a funny joke post. As for the 3rd world, it would work… for a bit. Then you will need to shoot it out with rivals/government/armed soldiers pretending to be “government”, etc.
I enjoyed this. Anyone who has done any field work knows how each ckeckpoint is like landing in a foreign country!
Wow, this is less of a joke post than I thought it would be. Probably not worth it for me to move to Somalia or what have you though.
Would work well in any small village really

What happens when you try to get up and just end up spinning around and on the ground? Guessing your authority will be seriously impeded.
That never happens! A real checkpoint manager is flanked by two female soldiers who make sure the hammock doesn't get out of control 😃
Wicked stuff.
Lol.......
What’s keep you from getting started?
