Agree

No, the government should focus on preventing monopolies and cartels instead

Disagree

No, as long as the costs are clearly communicated before purchases

Disagree

No, businesses will raise prices if they are banned from using junk fees

Very strongly disagree

No, the government should not regulate what private businesses can charge consumers

Eco-socialism strongly advocates for government regulation of private businesses to ensure they operate in a manner that is socially and environmentally responsible.
