Saw this today on the back of a pickup truck. It wasn't exactly a bumper sticker. It covered the entire tailgate. "Real Christians Obey the Speed Limit." It then listed by chapter and verse several passages from the Bible to illustrate the point. Were there speed limits back in those times? Did they...

No, we aren't all in for that. I recall one instance where we reluctantly accepted a five...

What you're referring to sounds like a classic two-tier wage structure. Everyone hired after a certain date works at a lower pay scale and never has an opportunity to progress to the higher rate.
