does it matter after we hit 104% after tomorrow?

It's a number, and bigger numbers are always better, right?

I know you are being facetious, but for the sake of argument, at some point, the tariffs are so big, no trade is happening, so it doesn't matter how "big" the tariff numbers are at that point, it's all the same.

104 is still buyable if you buy low value items.
