If a company is "burning cash" at the same time that they are "printing cash", I think you're definitely using the first phrase in a non-conventional way.

The original statement was: > Google is so badly managed (e.g. Stadia failure recently) that I am surprised that investors tolerated their insane cash burning for so long. That is, I (and I think most others) interpreted that as Google was essentially lighting a big pile of their cash on fire due to poor management, not that they were unprofitable. That would be very different, for example, than a statement like "Most of these new car companies are burning cash at an unsustainable rate."
