I haven’t received it yet, but I didn’t expect to. On magazines it might make sense for you to send your review requests at a later date…

I forgot to renew my subscription so it lapsed about a few days. The earlier subscription ended with Dec/Jan 09 issue. I renewed and was told that the new subscription would begin with April 09 issue and end with March 2010 issue. So I contacted them asking that the new subscription period continued without and gap. They told me that they would mail me the Feb 09 issue and needed to adjust my subscription to end with Dec/Jan 2010 issue.
I received 2 copies of Feb 09 issue!! I contacted them again asking for March issue. They replied that they would send me Feb issue!!! and would have to adjust my subscription down to Nov 09. So for this subscription I, at the current situation, will receive only 11 copies but of 8 issues!!

Having just subscribed, I was thoroughly disappointed to learn this magazine is full of liberal rhetoric.
I nearly fell off the toilet when I read how San Francisco is lauded for allowing illegal immigrants to open a checking account.
If you’re curious, here’s the article in its entirety:
‘Many people joke about stashing their cash under the mattress, but what if that were really the only option?
Bank on San Francisco, a public-private partnership formed by the city and several financial organizations, gives citizens access to bank accounts and financial education. When the pilot launched in September 2006, there were 50,000 unbanked households in the city.
After two years, 25,000 of them had signed up for accounts.
One reason many people hadn’t had checking accounts is they lacked government-issued U.S. IDs. Under the Bank on San Francisco program, the 17 participating banks and credit unions must accept Mexican and Guatemalan IDs.
The initiative allows participants a safe place to keep their money as well as an alternative to the check-cashing services that often take 5% or more of their net income each year.
It also includes money-management training. Other cities across the country are copying the program, and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill in December to expand it statewide in California.’
[...]
San Francisco is listed as one of twelve “fast cities” (due to this banking initiative) of which it’s stated: “Their exemplary initiatives are improving neighborhoods, transforming lives, and helping build better, faster cities for the future.”
The previous issue had an article on jump starting the auto industry. The entire first page of suggestions spoke of capping carbon usage, $4 gas, nationalized health care, a pay-per-mile system, etc.
One of the contributors to this article was the host of ‘Pimp my ride’…
Clearly this is not a ’strictly business’ magazine, but rather yet another medium aggressively indoctrinating the public with liberal ideas.
If you want a decent business/entrepreneurial magazine, I would suggest you look into Inc.
