Honestly it's crap like this, and the constant need to write grants, worry about funding, and crank out papers like there's no tomorrow is why I ended up just going into industry instead.

Don't get me wrong, I love science and scientific advancement, but the current system of publishing is super broken. What if you're a civilian researcher who doesn't have access to the big name journals? Well then be prepared to pony up $50/article.
