                                  Additionally, he says, "The government isn't rating people. It's done by a third party. We share government data and they decide what it means."

                                  That's like the US handing over money to the Fed... ug..

                                    I'm applying an "It's not me" mentality. I've never seen anything like it in the world so we'll see where it goes.
