Alright, y'all aren't going to shyt on Shiv like she doesn't deserve to be in the room, but Ken and Roman do. Those two fukkbois can't get right at all in a negotiation. Ken babbles every vocab word he's learned at corporate retreats and Roman is a weirdo who tugs his dikk to old ladies talking shyt to him and has that skeevy weirdo negative charisma. They're fukking weird.
Shiv is actually good at PR. She averted the former Waystar Cruises employee going to Congress to testify. Blew that whole thing up just by talking her out of it. If you're going to send someone in to negotiate, you'd send Shiv by herself. Roman and Kendall with their hacky-ass leaks. Shiv knew immediately that Kendall was behind the leaks about how out of it Logan was, and the Swede figured out their dumbass play with trying to get him to walk away immediately.
Truth is, Shiv, Ken, and Roy all have one aspect of Logan's business sense, but not the other two. Kendall has Logan's ruthlessness, but not his business sense or talking skills. Roman has the business sense, but can't talk and is a soft bytch. Shiv can talk even if she doesn't have the business sense because she was outside the company for so long. She's also the only one of the three who's had an actual job she was good at of the three - and she's at least somewhat ruthless.
On another note, does everyone think that Elon sends Grimes a pint of blood every two months? I bet he does.
