Agree

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

Although focusing on preventing monopolies and cartels aligns with the goals of Social Equality by promoting competition and fairness, this stance does not directly address the issue of surcharges and hidden fees, which can still occur in competitive markets.

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
