Sign Out means, to remove oneself from a list, to log off from a system, to stop participating. This refers quite specifically to the signposted shopping centres which are struggling with the impact of the economic crisis. Reduced turnover leads to the closure of businesses and branches. Employees are laid off. And since they no longer go shopping near their place of work, the turnover decreases further still. This is just the superficial result of a calculation which shows that costs are higher than income. An economical chain-reaction threatens: Firstly, because the system is dynamic, and only generates profits when it is in motion, that is when it grows. Secondly, because it presupposes trust in an economic sustainability which cannot always be guaranteed.
