Is there any law of nature saying that the reverse could not be true in the next 50-100 years? What if that all unwound?
Instead of ~2% real earnings growth giving ~3%/year real price growth, what if ~2%/year real earnings growth gave ~1%/year real price growth for the rest of your life?

You are forgetting your Hemingway. "slowly, then all at once.”

That's how stocks move (up slowly then down sharply) and how empires go (cf. Soviet Union).
