In for $7.7 billion. 🙂 > [@Carnut](#): > > wow thats good to hear. I would like to see Buffalo have an economic rebirth It’s coming. It’s just going to be hard to recognize because there won’t be the manufacturing plants the size of small cities. It’s going to be small high tech manufacturing and knowledge work hidden inside small buildings and fiber optic cables. ---

^Nope. That was worldwide sales last year. Locally praxair does no manufacturing. In Tonawanda they do all the Engineering, R&D, Purchasing, remote monitoring of all their plants, and some other stuff. I have no idea what kind of numbers can be attributed to Tonawanda. ---

I’m pumped about it. We’re in the shitter, but we’ve got a highly diverse industrial economy and we’re still pumping out a ton of product. 20 years from now all you fuckers who are leaving are going to start coming back. ---
