What percentage of Americans even have a real job? And by real job I mean not some $8/hr cashier/waiter service industry bullshit. From when I go out, it seems like 80+% of this country is purely service industry.

If you go by net worth (which should exclude home equity) americans are in even worse shape.

service 'industry', government employees, pensioners and welfare leeches make up the majority of the country.
people working actual productive jobs in private industry are a small minority.

This. Basically if you work at an office or have to wear a name tag you are a leach and ened to be purged. Construction and other manual trades are the only real jobs in the country.

Because I am a retired NEET who made it by buying bitcoin early?
And all I do all day is watch Twitch, smoke weed, and play vidya, and fucking hookers in asian massage parlors like 3-5x per week.

Another question:

When you talk with +40 men about economy or politics, do they also pity you? Sometimes I really see empty faced when talking about certain topics. Its like I have cancer or something and they feel very sad about me.

Actual productive jobs are the ones being automated in priority.
The more time passes the more productive jobs will disappear while bullshit jobs will remain.
If you are a chief diversity officer your job is 100% safe from automation, if you are a plumber, a programmer or a doctor chances are that you will be hit hard by robots during the next 20 years.

yeah every wealth chart based on income is a joke, inheriting banks is going to be worth 40 life times of work
