The american police often breaks the law themselves and kills people.
Does it mean we should get rid of police, they don't work just like cartels don't work?
Anyone reasonable agrees murder rate would be higher if there were no police at all.
A cartel does not need to be perfect to achieve wage supression.
OPEC has had a constant problem with cheaters selling oil under the table.
> Is that why in 2010 Department Of Justice had to step in to break up a wage suppression cartel between Adobe, Apple Inc., Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay
Yes, it was a cartel, and the companies were cheating on it. Remember when Jobs complained to Google that Google was cheating on it? There was nothing holding that cartel together.

Cartels have never managed to do that, unless they were (ironically) enforced by law.
