A communities embodying “dynamic decentralized resilience” providing for their own security, their own power generation, possibly even their own food, by forming local cooperative collectives. Armored Suburbs will deploy and maintain backup generators and communications links; they will be patrolled by civilian police auxiliaries that have received corporate training and boost their own state-of-the-art emergency response systems. The need for Armored Suburbs will become increasingly apparent as the nation state extracts increasing levels of resources while failing to provide basic security, a stable currency, and other essential public goods. The death of the nation state will lead to anarchic responses by many, but will also lead to networked, self-sufficient, local communities that will step into the breach abandoned by the bankrupt nation state. The rise of Armored Suburbs will preserve the Western heritage of political and economic freedom in response to these upcoming challenges.

Get the skudu mug.The modern version of the idealized 1950's house wife (see: June Cleaver). She's a stay-at-home-mom that needs day care, and a maid to free her up for lunch dates with other Suburban Princesses, and afternoons pool side. She needs a high wage earning spouse to cover her cost since she is an expense rather than a contributor to the household. Unlike her 1950's predecessor she has no useful household skills; i.e. laundry, cooking, sewing. Typically the only thing she can make for dinner are reservations. If she encounters a single working mother and mentions how hard her life is she is most likely to be jerked bald and then beaten to death by said single working mother.
