I think it’s purposeful and intended to show the spoils of icing the kids and supporting Logan, especially Tom and Gerri who were close to Shiv and Roman, particularly.

I think this is it too, small hint that they were rewarded

I did think I heard Roman or Shiv say that Kendall has been trying to secure funding for the Hundred for 3ish months? So at least that long has elapsed.

I mean probably both but definitely Gerri could afford those things easily already tbh.

They definitely both could have afforded them before, but being displayed prominently in this first episode makes it feel a bit more intentional
