Rating difference: USCF vs FIDE vs chess.com

I was wondering if there is a correlation between a USCF (United States Chess Federation), FIDE (International rating), and chess.com ratings. For example would a 1200 USCF be 1300 FIDE?

This has been discussed numerous time. Discussions on any correlation between chess.com and other ratings is fairly contentious.

My viewpoint is any such correlation is so weak as to be fairly worthless.

In otherwords the error bands are so large that that there is little predictive value.

I looked for other discussions of this topic but couldn't find any. That's why I created this forum.
