Surely there’s a better action to put energy into than something that would never happen. This is an easy way for opposition to Fireman to lose credibility.

You're right this will never happen but the petition isn't about feasibility. It's about two things: 1) showing that there is diverse community resistance to Fireman's plans to privatize LSP; and 2) if he really wanted to build a resource for the community, he could do so overnight on his own land.
He's a billionaire with immeasurable wealth and vast real estate holdings. Instead, he devotes his time and energy trying to take away land from the people of NJ. I can't think of a better fight to fight, even if it is quixotic tilting at windmills.

It’s trolling.

You should actually read some of the research on political parody. Glad we can agree though that this isn’t serious.

It’s fighting back in the ways we can.

If all you’re willing to do is from your keyboard, sure. And even, then it’s not useful.
