Japans stock market would like to have a word with you. (https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Datawatch/30-years-since-J...)

Yes, the US stock market has had a wonderful hundred year run during a time the market went from a backwater developing market to a global hedgemon and through a one-time demographic dividend where it halved its non-working population (children) and doubled its workforce (women) and had an extremely open immigration policy for working age adults.

Of course past performance is no indication of future concerns.
