In the US we've proven that it's easiest to just talk about anti-competition regulation to buy votes and then never actually get around to improving or enforcing it. After all, if you solve problems, you lose platforms to run the next election on.

I don’t think that last sentence follows. There are always more problems to solve. They’re just stupid and lazy and loyal to their owners.
There are always more problems, but for example, it's a lot easier to get voters heated over abortion rights than it is over whether or not a national ID should carry biometric data.
I'd argue there are always more problems, we don't have to solve them all nor should we assume that we can.
