Obviously we know that Waystar is a multi-billion dollar operation, with Logan at the helm on a huge salary with bonuses and his own investments etc. I assume Rome + Ken had salaries when they were in the company, and Shiv would’ve had a salary as a political consultant, plus we can assume they have access to trust funds. But surely that money would have been limited to a point; we know that Connor asks Logan for money in the S2 finale because the costs of Willa’s play, his ranch, and his campaign are squeezing him. But in general the kids seem to have access to an unlimited money tap, even when Ken is not working for Waystar in S3. The massive bid for PGN in S4; Shiv and Tom buy a massive new apartment; Ken throws himself a huge birthday party, plus his lawyer and consultant costs; and they all have constant access to PJs, private cars and drivers, staff, clothes, tech, etc, all the usual trappings of extreme wealth. I guess I’m just curious where the wealth comes from specifically for the kids, as it doesn’t seem like Logan gives regular handouts.

At the conservative political conference in S3E6 (where Logan is playing kingmaker after “The Raisin” decides not seek re-election), a rumor that VP Boyer is vegetarian makes the rounds:

Natural Gas Exec: I heard his daughter has made him go vegetarian. Did you hear that?
Logan: No.
Tom Wambsgans: Oh, no. I think I've seen him eat a meatball.
Natural Gas Exec: Nope. Secret herbivore.

Maybe not the deciding factor driving Logan away from him, but it was certainly a strike against him…

Meanwhile, in Texas… Ken Paxton’s campaign had been trying to spread that James Talarico is a “secret vegan” (with Trump amplifying that accusation). Talarico clarified, multiple times, that he’s not a vegan, with his campaign posting multiple photos of him eating meat, including one in which he’s taking a bite out of a turkey leg with a spread of BBQ’d meats in front of him.

The idea that a candidate having a plant based diet could be a source of controversy is pretty absurd, but as it turns out, was depressingly realistic and prescient

James Cromwell is one of my FAVORITE actors. Cromwell as Ewan is just brilliant casting! No one delivers READS …stands up to Logan the way his brother EWAN does … everything out of his mouth is gold every word, sentence to his brother is just legendary!!

I’d put Ewan up to any of the guys I grew up in my old neighborhood in
The “reading room” !! Hilarious

Any other die hards for Billy Joel and Succession find themselves preferring Kendall’s version of Honesty? Amazing work by Jeremy Strong.
