California is to the United States as Italy is to Europe.
Both have the following features:
- completely dysfunctional government
- too much debt
- declining economy
- endemic corruption
- beautiful landscapes and coastlines
- agriculture: olives, wine, citrus fruits, cheese, tomatoes
- natives feel it is important to look good
- natives drive like maniacs in heavy traffic but somehow avoid running into each other
- too many illegal immigrants
- rich people with mansions on a cliff overlooking the ocean
- earthquakes and volcanoes
- nice weather, hot in the summer, rain in the winter
- skiing in the mountains
- swarmed by tourists in the summer
- foodies
- Western movies are filmed there

Video: good looking guy or gal with a tan, wearing sunglasses and a very nice shirt, talking on cell phone while driving, says "Ciao", hangs up, changes lanes abruptly. They drive through a run down suburb populated mostly by olive-skinned people with black hair. They drive towards the mountains. The sunlight is dazzling. The landscape is hilly and dry. The car is a BMW 3-series.
Observer A: that must be Italy
Observer B: no, the buildings are new. It is California.

1. Bad decision making, to the point of financial collapse
2. To declare bankruptcy
3. A complete misuse of resources, even while having more resources than others

Jerry, despite making $1 million a year, was so California, that he had to sell himself on the streets to make ends meet.

A beautiful and diverse state who's literal meaning refers to a Paradise. It is harshly judged by people who either never lived here & base all their ideas about it from MTV reality shows,
OR
Have only visited the more priviledged areas of Southern California ie Orange County, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, L.A, etc. If you choose to limit your visit to the rich area of ANY region, you're going to get snobs & fakes. COMMON SENSE people.
~Newsflash: L.A and San Francisco do NOT represent the whole state and are not the only worthwhile places here.
~We don't all drive Ferraris and freeload off our rich parents. We have POOR people too. You know Hollister? That is just some poor shitty town nowhere near a beach....all you out of staters wearing that stuff thinking it makes you a surfer and cool? It doesnt. It's just a brand that capitalizes off your ignorance.
California is NOT a gigantic beach. We dont all live near the beach . We don't all surf...hell I can't even swim.
All that said, we ARE a beautiful diverse state. And I'd rather be broke here than wealthy anywhere else.

Out-of-Stater: Californians are so fake and snobby and full of fruits
Californian: Well have you been to any part of California besides L.A or San Francisco?
Out-of-Stater: No
Californian: *punch*
