Imagine if RELX had taken £1,075,000,000 of its profits and put it into, à la Doctorow, staff wages (cough paying peer reviewers cough). Or imagine £1,075m allocated to reducing prices for the authors, science funders, and libraries that are Elsevier's customers, or winding up their surveillance services for ICE, described in "When Westlaw Fuels Ice Surveillance: Legal Ethics in the Era of Big Data Policing” by Sarah Lamdan - and yes, the title notwithstanding, it discusses RELX Group too: https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/Documents/Issues/Racism/SR/RaceBordersDigitalTechnologies/Sarah_Lamdan.pdf
