You can't go after the manufacturers because 1) they're outside of your jurisdiction,

If they sell a product in your state, they're under the state's jurisdiction. It's why states can ban products or require safety features from manufacturers who sell in those states.

2) their products are likely legal in half of the world (e.g. Asia/Africa).

So? You think car manufacturers don't have different models for different parts of the world?

Might I remind you that the Democrats held onto the Epstein files and refused to release any of them during a Presidential election

The Supreme Court ordered the records sealed until after the election. That was thanks to Trump's Supreme Court picks.

Might I also remind you the infamous wife of Bill Clinton the island hopper, ran her own email server that 'accidentally' fell into a vat of Bleachbit.

Which was investigated and found not to be illegal, just poor judgement. Just like Colin Powell had done. But let us not mention all the use of personal email to conduct official government business being done by the regime right now. Or the use of Signal which conveniently doesn't store information.

No one is believing Demoncrap lies anymore.

In your ranting you misspelled a word. The word you were looking for was Repedo. The ones who seemingly every day are in the news for diddling kids.

Reasons vary. I know someone working in HR at a famous Japanese company. Rotating employees to offices around the world generally falls into 3 categories- 1. Giving experience, or rewarding good workers the company would like to develop into management. 2. Temporarily getting rid of useless or unliked employees without needing to fire them, which is very difficult in Japan. 3. Specialists for specific projects where hiring US citizens would be too much of a hassle. Employees in category 2 tend to be assigned to developing or undesirable countries, but some do come to the US too.

Geothermal developments are legit. Essentially, most of the US geothermal sites were built/drilled back in the 70s and 80s. Hydraulic fracturing and some of the other oil and gas drilling advancements of the past 30 years have yet to be applied to geothermal. There is room for a new player to tie these things together, especially if they can build turnkey plants or sell steam to existing sites on long term contracts (they plan for both). However, they aren't worth anywhere near $3B.

The fundamental issue is that theaters need to generate a certain amount of revenue per square foot to be profitable. People "rent" small amounts of space for a couple hours then they leave. But theaters are massive buildings, the desirable time slots are finite, and even on a good day it's a struggle to pack a theater. Somebody has to pay for everything and it seemes to be a figure that requires high gross profits and extensive upselling to get to that number.
