It is a statement of norms

No, that’s not correct

It must be unconditional to be normative

Ok I’m tired of trying to explain this to you

Defintion of a normative statement:
> a normative statement expresses a value judgment about whether a situation is desirable or undesirable
A value judgement
> an assessment of something as good or bad in terms of one's standards or priorities.

Read the Wikipedia article, read the sources you’ve posted, ask an Econ or philosophy professor

A positive statement is a statement that can be tested.

You are fundamentally mistaken about your understanding of a normative claim

Sophie can you explain to me how you would test this

"Taxes are too high"

You don't even have a line where taxes become "high" or "low"

I didn’t say it was a positive statement

Then it's normative.

No, that’s not the way it works

If it isn't positive it's normative, that's how things go in economics.

Not all statements are positive or normative

Again, you’re just wrong

There are only two types of statements

It's either able to be tested, or it's an opinion

Objective or deductive statements are not normative or positive

Again, no.

You need to talk to a professor or read about this

Objective are positive.

You can test them.

You don’t understand what you’re talking about

No

A deductive statement: Higher interest rates can reduce growth as people borrow less, this is positive.

Positive has to have a cause and effect

“The sky is blue” is not a positive statement

That's positive.

We can test that claim.

But it is an objective statement

Which is positive.

Like I said, it all branches under positive or normative.

Ok, I tire of this. I assume you either know you’re wrong and are just trying to argue to save face, or you’re just too dumb to ever understand

No, you’re simply wrong. Please educate yourself.

Let me just get the good old economic textbook

@Dr.Cosby Did you see my proof?

I told you I have no issues providing evidence, I was simply making an opinion however.

Please, get an economics textbook.

@sɪᴅɪsɴᴏᴛʜᴇʀᴇ Yeah mate, I took a look at your link dump - so, care to summarize any of the points there? I doubt you read ANY of these lol
