It was 145% last, before the current rate, for those curious. It only further cements your point, it no longer has real impact, importing from China is just as dead.
These numbers are absolutely wild. Has anyone made a site for tracking this madness?
Many, it’s all over the news. It seemingly changes based on emotion though, we thought it was 125% but it was really 145%.
I’ve seen a bunch of articles, each with just the latest number and a date. In order to make a nice graph out of all of them, I would need to set up some sort of webscraping project to pool the numbers together. I’ve also seen a bunch of articles that have other types of graphs and tables that don’t really answer my question. The data is out there, but it’s scattered all over the place.
Don’t know of any, sorry!
