I seem to remember that focus groups (which is what this invite is all about) got PAID MONEY to spend their time helping companies improve their product/process.

In my case, the privacy part doesn't matter. As someone who immigrated, the feds already have everything short of a retina print. I just don't see why I'd waste my time to do this junk.

My letter only gave me ~10 days to sign up. Like I'm going to schedule a long layover so I can walk through the Logan construction site to visit those bozos at short notice.

(Wait, maybe they want me to drive down from Maine specially to see them? )
