Biden recently gave a State of the Union address where he talked about cracking down on fees that different businesses are charging in one industry or another. Airlines charging extra to make people sit together, service providers charging people who want to switch to another carrier etc. It was to draw attention to the Junk Fees Prevention Act, force companies to "do what is right" by the consumer.
There are plenty of fees and inflation to boot that have overloaded the American public in multiple ways and degraded their standard of living in recent years. What action is going to be taken on that front? Does Biden truly care about the standard of living for the average American? If so then perhaps dems would spend a little more time analyzing where money is being spent and questioning if there might be some opportunities to ease up on the coercion that is inflicted upon others in the market.
What the act sounds like it is going to bring is more force into different industries to try and get them to engage in more transparency and "fair pricing" for consumers.
Biden says these sorts of junk fees harm markets, but you know what else harms markets? Inflation, unchecked globalist foreign policy, ever-expanding debt, and an eroding standard of living thanks to continually decreasing purchasing power over the years.

IMHO these folks could care less about you or me. They just like sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. Leave the "free markets" free for the consumer to decide and let us clean up wasteful spending in DC and everything you listed in the last paragraph of this post! What a mess.
