why doesn't the government burn heaps of cash as a way to control inflation?

sure anon, the government should just print more money to buy it back from people so they can burn it away

Because in order to burn money, you have to have the physical money in front of you

And if you have the physical money in front of you, that money could be used to... I don't know... PAY THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT?

Buddy, if you tell any rich person to just "burn some of their money to control inflation" they'll look at you like a retard because the gains they see from the decreased supply of money would be far outweighed by the amount of money the just FUCKING BURNED

Most USDs are just zeros with at least a one in front of it in bank accounts guis. This is why they want CBDCs, they could actually do a token burn like what your suggesting. The problem is that they will use CBDCs to fuck you in every hole until you like it, not to create digital sound money with deflationary mechanisms in place.

Because every dollar that exists also exists in debt, and making a big debt holder like China hold the bag would mean war.
