But isn't the US hegemony all about dictating global markets, ect. ? So whilst the US might be ensuring other nation's security, it is also ensuring that the markets are in its desired condition. This modus operandi, I suppose, means that the US homeless will suffer more, as those desired conditions are desired by the people who are able to control the military decisions, and not the homeless, who would most likely want cheaper health care & housing.

Yeah, but only because we needed the oil. But now that we're a net exporter, no need to be abroad
Do you think the hegemony is only about oil?
You'd be surprised at how many of the homeless are veterans with PTSD.
I don't find that surprising at all! It's a tragedy.
