JS,
They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and I can't think of a better man to be a real-life "Local Hero".
You can show that a hands-on owner can recreate the American Dream in Cedar Rapids, producing quality products locally at competitive prices, while treating workers as they deserve and paying them high wages and benefits consistent with their productivity.
And with the "fair" profits you earn, after paying all your taxes and making the necessay re-investments in the plant, the workers, and the community, perhaps you can hire Doak, C & C, KBM, Brauer, Nuzzo, Andrews, Nugent, Mingay, Thompson, Ristola, et. al. and build the affordable course of architectural significance for the all the deserving stakeholders there and here.
Or you can deal with the incalcitrant Chinese and incompetent Rednecks while staying within sight of the Pacific Ocean with your wonderful family, living on a steady diet of kids' sports and activities, and golfing at such places as El Niguel, Riviera, LACC, Bel-Air, Wilshire, Lakeside, MPCC, SDCC, LaJolla, Victoria, etc. Life is all about priorities and choices. You, sir, have some tough ones.
