I filter emails with the word "unsubscribe" into a separate folder (label in Gmail). If you can unsubscribe from it, it's probably not critical. The vast majority of transactional emails (password resets, magic login links, 2fa codes) don't have that wording in the email body.

Mostly nobody is against building more housing. The big issues, especially in California, are the Water supply issues. The cities largely run at capacity and the water system can't really handle the increased load. Then you have traffic and other safety concerns like electricity. It's not as simple as building more houses, it's a long road of improving infrastructure. I used to date a housing advocate who attended city hall hearings for a non profit, and no one objected, it would always get to close to being approved, then the water guy comes in and they can't do it.
Most people are for more housing somewhere else or with so many caveats that they are effectively against it.

Allow people to build more housing. It's simple. These rules will help current renters at the expense of future Los Angelenos, make building more housing less desirable for developers, and will let local politicians pretend they solved the issue while actually doing the exact opposite.

Why?
If they have access to the last photo ... every photo you ever took was the last photo. Why mess around giving app's permission to surveil/siphon off your photos at all?
Any carte blanche for apps, and apps will go to great lengths to take advantage of that in unexpected ways, and obscure the fact they are doing so.
And privacy losses can never be verifiably reversed.
All most apps need is for you to select photos to upload/import using an Apple supplied photo selector. So they only see and get exactly what you want them to have.
I’m presuming (perhaps incorrectly) that the app only gets access to your last photo when the photo picker is launched. It wouldn’t be able to slurp up every photo in the background.
iOS already has exactly the experience you describe and it clearly urges you toward sharing only specific photos.
The only feature request I have is to be able to scope app permissions to an album, since the current flow of selecting individual photos adds a lot of friction.
Something like "allow app access to last photo" would be ideal for me

We have a $37 trillion dollar deficit. I think traditional government isn’t working and we need to find ways to raise revenue sooner rather than later before this spirals out of control.
We have taxes, but the current governing coalition is opposed to raising them.

The quantity and capriciousness of these tariffs are certainly unusual.
