Agree

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

Although preventing monopolies and cartels is likely a concern for United We Can, given their broader economic and social policies, they would probably see banning surcharges as part of a wider strategy to protect consumers, not as an alternative to addressing monopolies and cartels.

Disagree

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

Transparency in costs is important, but United We Can would likely argue that simply making costs clear is not enough to protect consumers from potentially exploitative practices. They would probably favor more proactive measures.

Disagree

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

While United We Can might recognize the potential for businesses to raise prices if junk fees are banned, their overall commitment to protecting consumers and regulating unfair business practices would likely make them more supportive of banning these fees despite potential price increases.
