Milei's Mega-Decree: Everything, everywhere, all at once is no way to do politics.

Suppose you inherited a fine old house, fallen into ruin. Holes in the roof let the rain in, there’s no glass in some of the windows, the plumbing works intermittently, there’s an alarming smell from the toilet, the furniture is from the 1970s and falling apart,  and the power company is threatening to pull the plug unless you agree to settle several months of unpaid bills immediately. The thing is, you really want to move in there as soon as possible. 

What would you do? Would you try to fix everything all at once? Would you, for example, hang nice curtains in the bedrooms while the rain was still coming in through the ceiling? Of course not, you’d prioritise. You’d fix the roof, the windows and the malodorous toilet, and make a payment plan with the power company before deciding what colour you’d like to paint the kid's bedroom because if you tried to do everything at once the result would be chaos.
