Mild crisis: cash is king; moderate crisis: gold is king; deep crisis: guns and cannons are king; extreme crisis: food is king. In a crisis, a woman without one is worthless; in front of the rich, a woman is worth nothing; in front of power, the rich are worth nothing; in the face of guns and cannons, power is worth nothing; before the poor, guns and cannons are worth nothing; before women, the poor are worth nothing.
This is the way of Heaven—unchanged since ancient times.
