Might just be your neighborhood. There are still plenty in the LA area. In my state, about a third of the locations have closed in the past decade. However there are still several within a reasonable drive.
I would be interested to see if there is a nexus between GameStop locations that have closed and check cashing stores. Iâ(TM)m not implying a positive or negative correlation. Just curious if there is a correlation.

Gamestop made a business model of taking used products and selling them on. Unlike the storefronts that tried to make a living by helping people sell on eBay, Gamestop already has those locations in place, with a compatible business. Adding grading and verification, and maybe even packaging and shipping makes sense. How many more people would sell their unwanted items if all they had to do was drop them off and someone else handles the listing, selling, packaging and shipping.

The livable area of Switzerland is more or less finite. Yes, they could fill in more lake and river areas, and flatten some mountainous areas, but canâ(TM)t really add more land. There is some sense to limiting how many extra people you add from the outside. This isnâ(TM)t leading to a one child policy, but saying that the external influx will have a limit, based on how many people are currently within their borders.
Compare this to other countries that ban people explicitly because of where they come from, or even what countries theyâ(TM)ve visited. Often while making exceptions based on religion or race. Iâ(TM)d rather see a policy that meters all residents without discrimination.

And one way the plaintiffs may win will be based on the difficulty of calculating the wealth of an individual. And, in calculating that value, you would need to look at their assets, a court may disfavor peeking into private parties' private assets.

Heck, Trump has resisted anyone adding up how much he is really worth. It seems he inflates it for some purposes and minimizes it for others. Isn't that what the NY case was at least partly regarding?
