Do The Materialistic Californians Deserve What They Are Getting?

Yes.

I believe these threads about california and its people is shrill talk. Getting people to talk shit about one another to hype up this site!

depends on what they are getting, if they are materialists then im sure they are getting things all the time.

too bad it will hit the poor, not the wealthy

you don't think the rich are going to suffer when the poor have no food and are on the street?

I would not want to be rich and still in Kalifornia when the poor get angry...

this is kind of silly. there are all kinds of regular folks in Cali. it is the 5th largest econ in the world. I think 30 million live there. theres alot more there than hollywood and malibu.

because all Californians, just like all Jews, Arabs, and Africans, are exactly the same.

the human race is made of INDIVIDUALS you collectivist wackos.

here's something else you flyover freaks don't get. California is the agricultural heart of the nation. I live 20 miles from where ton after ton of fruit and vegetables are grown.

if all the gasoline and banks vanished tomorrow (inshallah!) I'd work on a wagon train taking food to the metro area. You people in flyover states would be eating rocks.

I don't understand why so many people hate California and the people that live here.

Care to explain?

well, California stands for materialism and hedonism, of course this is only symbolic and does not describe every single individual there.
Also its probably because many appear as arrogant wise guys, while being not as wise as they think.
This my impression from Germany.

You people are beyond ignorant! You think ALL Californians are as you say? BTW My family has been here for 4 generations and the people who represent the materialistic, narccistic and hedonistic lifestyles ARE NOT FROM HERE! All you little ants who crawl here to rape my state from all your states thinking there's some friggin "pot of gold" waiting for you out here! Ha, what a joke as I've watched year after year all the ones who can and can't make it here. Weeding it into a group of socio-paths from everywhere else but here! All these millionaires from everywhere coming in and buying up all our communities. Jacking the prices up on everything....taking all the jobs away. Building on EVERY square in of land that's left! Thank you so much for your love and I wish the same for your community...and SOON!!!

I find it ironic, being that most of the people who reside in California, came from your folks other parts of the country, that you have such unmerited dislike and absolute misunderstanding of Californians.

10% of nearly everything originates herein and as one reader pointed out we produce abundantly the food that you eat. Most of the technology originates from here. Someone also correctly pointed out that we have , and this varies from time to time, between the 5th to the 6th largest economy in the world. We have a rich diversity of opportunity for everyone who wishes to pursue it and a diversity of cultures and people who for the most part 'get along'.

We do not have Polish, Italian, Jewish or black neighborhoods exclusively but neighborhoods of people with the exception that as more and more Mexcans move into here they have, down south, dominated neighborhoods which formerlky were desired by blacks moving into formerly white dominated ones.

We have every geographical designation known throughout the planet.

You love your state, that is wonderful, but why knock something that you get ideas about from playland????There is not, just about California, but alot of free floating hostitily and desire to see certain groups of people punished and hurt or a desire for some retribution that gets expressed over and over from misogyny to this and it really gets tiresome as it is present day after day on here which suggests that there are alot of people who feel they get no attention so seek negative attention and those who have yet to reconcile their ineptitude so lay blame on everyone else for their miserable existence.
