Yep. The fed is an engine, whose purpose is to move wealth silently from the masses to the powerful monied few, via time-asymmetric inflation. (Mostly Inflation of assets presently) The resulting data looks like corporations have used their power to directly disenfranchise/disempower workers, and so the mass clamber for protective laws. More laws will be enacted by those in power. The time is certainly right for it. The laws will be constructed such that they will entrench the existing power structures, and meanwhile the fed will motor on, unaffected. Nothing changes for the good while this engine continues to run. And it will run at ever increasing rates, because it has to, in order to continue to do its work of supercharging the economy from the top down. Get on the train (Ride the coat-tails of the great and powerful as best you can by investing) or be left behind in a wake of generally stagnant wages (stagnant for lots of reasons), and mildly rising prices. Meanwhile housing prices (housing costs to you) and stocks are off on a rocket-ship to the stars.
