A lot of people are gonna give openaishit over this, but the old cliché is true; gotta spend money to lose money.
At a personal scale you can just light a few bills on fire, and you're good. Maybe even gamble away a home or something if you're filthy rich.
But at this scale that just doesn't work. Burning this amount of money takes infrastructure, trucks, roads, labor, and facilities. Otherwise the poor's might take some of it.
Can you imagine what those people would spend this kind of money on?
