We have plenty. The mistake you make is thinking we use credit cards. Right at this moment Wero is being rolled out, which is a debit-card payment system that has much lower overhead (no middle man), and no extortion interest rates (as it is a direct relation with your bank).
The only reason I ever use credit cards is to deal with legacy American companies that still live in the past.
You can keep your visa.

The study did not find a statistical difference in the changes and damage among rats that were exposed to water that had been in contact with plastic for one minute versus five or fifteen.

To me this suggests that the toxins are released into the water within 1 minute, and very limited amounts leech out afterwards. Would this not suggest that a proper pretreatment would address the toxicity? Also, it would indicate that re-using these containers is fairly safe

Or you could argue that Apple could afford tax lawyers and know exactly what gamble they were taking by selecting Ireland and its too-good-to-be-true conditions.

I do not understand why everyone thinks Apple did not see this as a business risk and took the gamble. I'm quite sure they knew *exactly* what the EU tax laws are and what they were getting into
