Not amazing. Basic vacuum, no washing interior with soap. the exterior looked cleaner than interior.
They do over other cleaning as well, I just chose the cheapest thing

I really don't understand why people don't just go to the gas station pay a few dollars and use their high powered vacuums. If all items are removed from a car it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes vacuum and use a rag to wipe the surfaces.

I don't know why, but I'm breaking my rule and responding to you.

You say this, and follow it up with
I mean, if that doesn't display forward-thinking pragmatism, I don't know what does.

You like to sit with your internet beitzim crusading against "askanim" - who appointed them? No one. Baveiz a chachma, become an askan! Don't just hack about Regents and bail online, publicly endorse the candidates who WILL enact all these policies you want! Heck, run for office! Genug with the mud-slinging without alternatives. Put out an op-ed that shows a clear-headed political agenda. Tell me who YOU would vote for today, and WHY. Trust me, the sites will be only too happy to have an argument on their pages.

When the issue of chinuch comes up, Cunningham will have the words of these askanim ringing in his ears, and the knowledge that he wants (or NEEDS) us to vote for him again next time. Will it be enough? I can't say. But it will certainly be worth more than any bloviating about askanim done here.

Which rabonim said that our enelected "askunim" can go celebrate iftar with the goyim?

Last I checked one of the elected rabonim of ch said you can't

On shabbos rabbi bogomilsky speech was a מחאה against these "askunim" for going to the iftar.

Why don't you ask the people that went if it bothers you so much. I didn't go. I'm not anonymous, neither are the people that went. You have an issue, be a mentch and call the guy(s) up and ask him (them) respectfully which rov allowed it.

ETA: Apparently the irony of posting this as a response to me saying that no one appointed the askanim in question, and rather than just kicking, screaming, and mudslinging, nothing is stopping you or anyone from "becoming an askan" is lost on you.

Based on the name/number on the box, it seems like this is distributed by my neighbor.

I actually confirmed with him, it is his run. He said for the first year of this run it was Y.S. but after that he took it over.

Especially being that I heard from one of them firsthand that he has what to say on why he went.

Healthy discourse is very important.

If the rabonim say it's assur, it's assur.

What's next celebrating the Easter egg hunt for healthy discourse?

No.

Asking him why he did it if the Rabbonim say it's assur is healthy discourse.

If you read the "fine print" (the sources) you will see that it's not actually assur...
