The full text of the paper costs $35 to read once.
"Look, I made a really exciting controversial discovery! It's really emotional and intriguing! You're missing out! Only smart rich people can read it! Put your money in the basket please :)" Our education system is dead the the populace is too stupid to care.
The educational system isn't setting the prices. The publishers are separate private enterprises which are mostly profit-driven.
In the last 20 years, "open access" journals have been created where the author (author's grant money, mostly from the government) pays the charges instead of the readers. That has led to a whole slew of other problems including predatory and phony journals springing up.
author's grant money, mostly from the government, paid for by tax dollars, by US citizens, as part of taxes attributed to education and healthcare. yaaaaaaaawn.
