Cultcow Russell Greer / Mr. Green / @ just_some_dude_named_russell29 / A Safer Nevada PAC - Swift-Obsessed Sex Pest, Convicted of E-Stalking, "Eggshell Skull Plaintiff" Pro Se Litigant, Homeless, aspiring brothel owner

[DumbDude42]

So instead he's switching focus to another PAC with a reasonable-sounding purpose that has nothing to do with hookers, in hopes of scamming people out of their money.

i dont think his goal is to scam people out of their donation money. i think his goal is to get lots of donations and volunteers and employees so he can feel like a successful politician/activist.

anyway, isn't vegas currently building some meme tunnel transport system with elon musk? from what iheard of it it's retarded and dumb, but with that currently on the way i doubt russ' monorail proposal is gonna attract much support.

 

[moocow]

I'd like to imagine this ends with Russ winning the ballot initiative, then having a fit and walking away when the city planners say the lines he proposed need to be rerouted and that they'll take longer than two years to build.

That's traditionally how Clark County has sandbagged public transit initiatives, yeah.

I'm actually still in awe that the monorail actually got transformed from a useless link between the ass-end of two ancient casino resorts into a useless "public transit" option that stops exclusively at the ass-end of a series of ancient casino resorts and the convention center (a whopping seven stops spanning 4 miles!) and charges an arm and a leg for the privilege of riding it.

His idea isn't a new one and if it was a good one it would have happened by now. The monorail has been a money pit failure with low ridership from day one. Extending it to the airport and downtown might happen and help but it will take money and time and a fight against the cab union (hotels on the strip can't offer a hotel shuttle to the airport like in other cities, it's private shuttles that go to all hotels or limos).

Yeah, the cabbies will never let that happen. They might even temporarily ally themselves with the "gag economy" scumbags like Uber and Lyft to lean even harder on planners to resist efforts to extend the monorail out to the airport. The underground light-rail pipedream project has better odds of actually coming to fruition and even that's a long shot.

Not that a monorail extension to the airport would really have much of an impact anyway. As you said, it's been a money pit from day one because nobody wants to ride it, which in turn is because it goes nowhere useful and it's a long hike to get anywhere interesting from any of the stations. It's also expensive ($5 one way) except for locals ($20 for 20 one way rides) who have absolutely no reason to use it. It's slow, too (top speed is 50mph on one very short stretch between two stations; its average speed is much lower and it takes 15 minutes to travel 4 miles on it). And the A/C sucks (the rolling stock is the same as what's used for the Walt Disney World monorail -- Mark VI cars designed in the late 80's and not improved since).

An airport extension would only be useful for travelers staying in the shittier resorts on the strip ... and absolutely no one else.

Ah well. At least he's picked a lost cause not involving his dick for once.

 

[I can't imagine]

Above and beyond the other excellent points made, would such a service be worth $30.00 a ride? And is that regardless off numbers of stops travelled. I am not even sure why my praticalside is even trying to make sense of it. For all that Russell brings, it’s more likely the rail to connect Narnia will finish before this.

Well, to put in perspective, the current length of the monorail goes from the MGM Grand to the Sahara, and costs $5 with a discount for locals. And people still don't really use it at that price. This would more-or-less double the length and charge 6x as much. Now, granted, the number of ways to get the few miles from the MGM Grand to the airport all tend to cost a fair bit more than $5, but still, it just doesn't sound like a very appealing price. Even if it's pipe-dream level of optimism, he should at least pretend it'll be cheaper with weasel words like "potentially as little as $10 for the service" or something, but of course his understanding of politics is at about the same level as his understanding of the law, the entertainment industry, interpersonal relations, or...pretty much anything, really.

 

[Vibromatic Heart Bed]

Russ, the saying is "come to fruition". Or you can say that something "reached fruition", or you're going to "bring __ to fruition". Fruition is not a verb.

Just another hilarious example of Russ fucking up common idioms, I love it. Do we have a list going somewhere?

Also the images under "proposed routes" are sending me. He really just copy-pasted stock photos and screenshots from google maps of random buildings and parking lots. Removing the text and navigation arrows would be too much work (and creating an actual, y'know, ROUTE MAP? Unthinkable)

Agreed with previous posters who've basically said this is just his way of trying to become a local celebrity. City planners are household names, after all. And I mean, if you are a local celebrity in Las Vegas, you are by definition a national celebrity!

 

[Andrew Neiman]

The new PAC has a website too. https://www.connectingnevada.org/

Russell again proves himself to be capable of some adaptation: his new organization isn't themed around creepy sex stuff, and his face and name don't appear on the site (though I do see the proposed train route intersects "Russell Road").

 

[Cheesegirl78]

I think it's important to archive the parade of failures in the website. Future generations will need to understand.

Spoiler: How are you so bad at everything?

Fresh off doxing himself in his latest filing, Russ is taking extra precautions to remain safe with his new PAC:

That's not how revenue works, Russ. That's especially not how public transit works.
View attachment 2762113

I dunno, will it be done by 2027? It's your proposal, Russ. But you do think that two years at the very most ought to be sufficient for a major public works project. No other planning or analysis needs to be done, Russ imagined a perfectly good route, and besides, how long can it possibly take to build an elevated train track over a bustling city?
View attachment 2762125

Why give photos of the buildings and not an overhead view of the map? Oh right, because Russ.

This is on desktop. I can't imagine the nightmare on mobile.

View attachment 2762133

They're almost all like this.
View attachment 2762143

You fail, Russ.

View attachment 2762161

Light rail can be grade-separated, but never mind. How did you determine this? Why do you think you'll have more riders than light rail can accommodate? How do you know a low-floor, tram-style light rail wouldn't be more efficient? Where are your traffic studies that would indicate that it's necessary (or even preferable) to have an elevated track and not street-level? How do you know there would be pedestrian deaths? Do you realize you're implying that elevated tracks would still (somehow) result in significant pedestrian deaths and vehicle collisions? Have you looked at any case studies of similar cities? Is this a commuter train to bring people to the downtown area, or is it an urban vehicle catering to locals and tourists? Who is this for, exactly? (And why am I astonished that you didn't mention accessibility for disabled people, which is a major talking point for most public transit schemes?)

Why am I fucking asking?

View attachment 2762164

If this was anyone else, I'd be 100% with @Viridian and calling this out as an obvious hooker-fund fuel. (Aside: Speculation, but I wonder how his actual paid employment is these days, what with the economy and covid and all. Maybe he needs a new job and decided 'PAC President' was the gig he wanted.) But knowing Russ, he might be completely earnest and just too stupid to think of any of this stuff. He really functions at the level of a child. And not a particularly bright child, at that.

Regardless, this is going to go the way of the hooker PAC. Everything about it screams scam. No thinking person will give him money, let alone volunteer to work for him.

I wonder, though, if PACs are taking the place of lawsuits in his life. How many PACs for ballot initiatives will he have by the time of the actual ballot? Place your bets!

ETA:

He never changed the defaults on the social media links on the site, either.

So if you click on the Twitter icon, you go here:

Facebook is the same:

View attachment 2762487

LinkedIn? You betcha.
View attachment 2762492

Since it's Wix, we can now determine how much of his hooker fund he's investing in this little venture, assuming he's not just running their "free trial":
View attachment 2762499

He'd better hope it's free, since the donation link on the main page of his site is broken. I wonder if he realizes that underlined text is meant to link to something, or if he's just doing it for emphasis?

View attachment 2762502

The preset links on the actual Donate page do take you to a Stripe site...

Wait a minute. Is that a logo I see? Hard to tell, since it doesn't show up anywhere on his actual site. But it's head and shoulders above the Safer Nevada logo. It looks... professional.

View attachment 2762508

Hrmmmm... Could still be a Fiverr commission, I guess. Still.

It's a mess on mobile as well.

 

[Rustled Jimmies]

I don't understand, though. How does this get him his penis sucked?

1. Ask for $800 000 000
2. Offer $800 000 000 to bang Taylor Swift
3. Whoohoohoo!

 

[CWCissey]

He's been playing Cities:Skylines, I just know it. I don't think he likes shooters, but I can see building/strategy games being more his speed. I like those kinds of games too, I just know they're not real.

I think at best he has a "professional" laptop, I dont see the respectable Mr. Russel Greer, esquire-in-work, willing to be a mere "gamer". Those are childs toys, and he works in an office.

I reckon he has Cities: Skylines and at least After Dark and Mass Transit DLCs as that's not a toy, it's a super cereal city planning software tool and he runs it at 10 fps like Dobbo with Skyrim.

How else do you think he came up with the routes for his monorail? If anything I'm surprised he didn't think blimps could be a good option for public transport.

 

[Constellationzero]

My thoughts as of last night were that he...might be "legitimately" trying to clean up his image by focusing on a more..."constructive" cause. Transportation is pretty innocuous. Yeah, his connection with this PAC initiative RE: connecting the strip monorail to the airport sounds dumb for someone like him, but think about it:

There are a LOT of low-information and even lazy constituents. Many of these lazy, low-information types are found at (drumroll) collage! Look at ASU's low-information crowd endeavoring to "busy" theirselves with the worthy cause of backing up a bona fide pedophile in the noble endeavor of getting rid of meen old Kyle (who is an online student anyway).

So... what's the hook? (snerk)

Remember him sliming around UNLV? Ya getcha the low-information, lazy, slacktavist young laaaaaaadies! And what better--and more innocuous--way to do that than with...a transportation PAC!! Huzzah! I wonder if the greasy gourd has been reading here, or maybe someone at Wommart pulled him aside between fishing shidded underwear stuffed down the men's terlets, and gave him some much needed feedback? Hmmm...
Anyway, like my thoughts last night, I'm concerned he's learned nothing. And appropos of nothing, Russell is likely going to attract some...mild interest/curiosity with this one, and may then sneak in the ol' stalkeroo.
Many young women know this guy: Could be at work, sportsball practice, college class, study group--hell, even Bible study--guy uses it to slime his way in and shoehorn, appropos of nothing, his flirting and pestering for a date, making everyone want to take a Silkwood shower. Now, you'd think that a normal person would be mortified. They would! They'd never dream of even thinking of doing something like that because they're not interested in going to jail or embarassing themselves deeply over some bullshit that ain't worth it.
But this is Russell Greer.

Keep your eyes peeled on this one.

EDIT: Remember our discussion on internships and colleges? Remember how I said that no professor would approve of an internship for his PAC?
Now, he'd still have to form a rapport with, say, UNLV or the local CC via getting department head approval and a professor on board with this. They still won't because one thing they'll always do is ask a bunch of questions. Maybe in person in their office. One of the main questions will be about the long term goal of this PAC. And what with everything you guys have said so far about LV's monorail of fail, you can imagine the looks of chagrin and confusion when slurpy tries to "explain."

 

[Polexia Aphrodisia]

Walk away from an autistic songwriting contest and come back to a Mongorail plot. Good Lord, Russell.

 

[Reluctant Baron]

The autistic train loving part of me hopes that Russell, through sheer magic, is able to revive the Las Vegas rail transportation, and makes it a thrive mode of transportation. As a way of atoning for his crimes of being a ratfaced wannabe rapist. But I know that my tism dream will never pass...

 

[AnOminous]

Vegas is probably the only place in the world where they can massively overpay to create some ridiculous transport system that is completely inefficient, and as long as it looks cool, it won't even be that much of a waste. They literally build giant pyramids and shit there.

 

[GloriousScarf]

He was probably reading about railroad tycoons and doesn't realise he is 120+ years too late to make money off it. The dumbest possible reason is probably the correct one with Russell.

 

[DrJonesHat]

Blimps are a good option for public transportation! At least, as long as you don't have be there earlier than next week.

 

[FernandoPooTragedy]

As a Simpsons fan, how exactly does he expect this monorail thing to work out for him?

Hydrogen is best avoided too. Just sayin'.

 

[Disgruntled Pupper]

When Russell described himself as a variety act, he wasn't excatly wrong, he just didn't specify he's a lolcow variety act. He writes his narcissistic delusions into books and pamphlets! He sues people! He writes cringy, terrible songs! He venmos Instagram thots dollars and stalks women when they make the mistake of responding! He doesn't bath! And now, ladies and gentlemen and troons of all ages, our petulant pipsqueak is ponderously penning peculiar PACs! What will he do next (besides another lawsuit)? No one knows!

i dont know very much about it but i believe the idea they had (or musk had it and sold it to them idk) was to dig a bunch of tunnels under the city, put single-lane roads inside these tunnels, and have self driving tesla cars drive through them all day. it sounded very dumb to me, i don't really get why they don't just put regular underground railway in these tunnels instead of elons meme cars, i guess the city planners were just easily impressed by teslas marketing team

 

[talk talk talk]

I keep picturing the Simpsons monorail episode with frantically "dancing" Shitlips in place of Leonard Nimoy and now I have to take an Ativan and lie down.

 

[UselessRubberKeyboard]

Just imagine Russ as a politician. Picture the scene. The horror. The way he’d absolutely abuse the power of the position to force everything with a vagina to suck him his penis. That’s what this creepy little goblin is after. He doesn’t give a toss about politics in the same way he doesn’t give a toss about law, despite claiming he does - he just sees them both as easy ways to make people (women) do as he says.

The problem is that with law, you need to know your shit (and a strip mall associates’ degree isn’t that). Politics? Less so. As the drooling twat himself once said, it’s not what you know but who you know. Thankfully for the ladies of Las Vegas, Russ knows practically no-one and will almost certainly fail to impress anyone involved in the local political scene. Having said that, that Warren idiot worked for Brianna Wu’s election campaign and has attempted to insert himself into his local council, despite being a completely deluded halfwit. I guess we get to see just how respectable Las Vegas political actors are in real time now. Woot.
