On this week’s episode of Slate Money, host Felix Salmon of Fusion, Cathy O’Neil of Mathbabe, and Slate Moneybox columnist Jordan Weissmann take on capitalists who are revolting in every sense of the word. Topics include:

• The proliferation of subprime auto loans being marketed to poor and minority communities.
• The unexpected stand of CEOs of companies from Apple to Walmart against the “religious freedom” laws of Indiana and Arkansas that could have protected private companies’ discrimination against gays and lesbians.
• The Guardian’s campaign of divestment from fossil fuels—and what it means when investors take a moral stand.
• And, in a rare departure from our policy of not covering the monthly jobs report, a look at some very disappointing numbers.
