has to reapply for his prep cook job at Applebees for less pay and hours. He's been at that location for 15 yrs, working the last 6 yrs 7 days a week to make his 40 hrs. Thanks Gov Abbott. He had to reapply and will probably only get a few hrs a day at a reduced hourly wage. If he doesn't go back he's screwed. If he goes back, like he has a choice, he's screwed. He won't make enough to survive. Rotten Republicans.
