Shock Revelation: Starliner Can't Undock From Space Station Safely
hotair.com

"There are a lot of good reasons to complete this mission and bring Butch and Suni home on Starliner," he said. "Starliner was designed as a spacecraft to have the crew in the cockpit. The crew is integral to the spacecraft."

It's not just Boeing that is a disaster, obviously. NASA must have signed off on the changes, which makes no sense at all. Presumably, they knew that this was a test flight and that it might not go perfectly, so downgrading the capabilities of the spacecraft while carrying human beings is insane.

But there it is. They did it anyway, and in the process stranded their astronauts, screwed up the schedule of their one working spacecraft, the Crew Dragon, and attached a massive dead weight onto the ISS that prevents Crew Dragon from docking.

Don't worry. Nobody will get fired. If the Secret Service is any indication the person responsible will be promoted and put in charge of investigating how this happened.
