I'm not sure if Milei has been in power for long enough to have any sort of meaningful impact.

I don't expect him to have a positive impact, mind. But it always takes a bit of time before things change.

Doing things the regular way, he wouldn't have.

That's not what he's doing, though. He's tearing apart huge chunks of the government apparatus that people depend on with no safety nets or other mitigation of inevitable consequences.

It's like the "let's tear down each wall until we find out which ones are load bearing" approach to governance. Except they all are and he just keeps swinging his +5 Sledgehammer of Demagogue Stupidity.
