While your figures probably work out to be about right that argument could be made for anything. I mean I could make the following list on the same scale:


Re-tying of shoes costs an average of $16,200,000 per day.
People wiping their ass costs and average of $33,700,000 per day.
Flirting in the office costs an average of $223,500,000 per day.

I haven't seen any organizations dedicated to ridding the world of shoestrings that I can recall.
There is one big difference: spam costs time when people are working. It's actual work-time, people don't do it during (actual or self-appointed) breaks, and it is perceived as work... and rightly so.

Spam doesn't cause more inefficiency in workers, it raises the workload. The difference between the two is rather essential...
