Gerrymandering is one thing - it's kind of how the US has been rolling for a while I think. Unless the current attempts are of a new magnitude?

The thing I'm concerned about is systematic voter disenfranchisement, messing with voting machines, and brazen fraud. Will the Trumpists attempt something obvious? Will the US stand for it?

The problem is that you have internalized that hate.  You already hate the US.  And really, it's the excesses of people like you that seems to have triggered the Trump reaction.  If you want to see the culprit here, look in a mirror.

The Chamber of Commerce Austria has been one of the drivers behind most salary increases in Austria remaining below inflation for another year.

This week it was then announced that the 5800 employees of the chamber would receive a salary increase over 1% above inflation which caused an outcry over a lack of solidarity.

It did not help that shortly after it turned out that the salaries of the managers of the chamber would rise between 40% and 60%.

President of the Chamber of Commerce (he's a member of conservative ÖVP) says that the communication may have been less than ideal.

Membership in the chamber is mandatory for all companies/entrepreneurs in Austria.

(As is membership in the Chamber of Labor for all employees ... conservatives in the past have again and again advocated to make membership in the Chamber of Labor voluntarily (which would save me like 20€ a year while losing out on a lot of benefits, like free legal advise etc.). They never bring up changing the Chamber of Commerce membership to being voluntary.

Does the US have any plans to end its breach of Article 1 of the NATO treaty?
