The headline is not what the article says. The article isn't measuring nations, it is measuring individual organizations. The US military is one of the largest, most logistically active organizations on the globe, so the conclusion makes sense. But per capita or per activity? That's going to be some energy intense manufacturer. Probably Chinese.

Monopsony is the word for it. They are suggesting that China is becoming such a large buyer of oil relative to other buyers that oil producers are forced to do what China wants. China would be stupid to test that theory, however. Long-term denial of oil to China would absolutely destroy this energy-poor country.

The current tax law favors the use of tips over charging higher prices and paying a better wage.

Restaurants that do not provide table service (such as fast casual chains) do not rely on tipped workers, but I am not sure those workers do any better than workers who live on tips.
