:: Why didn’t we know about this when it was being proposed ::
Some of that “we” you speak of knew about it, posted on FR about it encouraged Trump to follow through with it.
The same FReepers that determined that the Senior Executive Service (ref: above article from UK), the SES, was the key[stone] to breaking up the hold liberals had on our governing bodies.
Trump’s development of this policy-change was forecast on other political-intelligence websites and backed up with “open source research.
Open-minded FReepers brought that research here.
Sadly FR, due to its own policy decisions, doesn’t have the influence it once had among Republicans.
“Man on the street Republicans” and FReepers here (still clinging to the faded fame of buckhead) didn’t hear or know of it because they were working diligently to silence FReepers who referenced certain research sites as “psyops” and “CIA operations”.
That’s the story.
So far...
“That’s the story.

Yup. Pretty much.
It has been most frustrating for far too many, for far too long.
I think matters are coming to a head, at long last, though.
