Well it depends, in my city in Colombia they pushed english a lot. Was also mandatory in my university in case your school was not bilingual. May be an oddity but you are certainly expected to learn it at some point to not fall behind in this globalized world. Also USA companies hire people cheaply across all industries and have common time zones, so it can be actually worth.

There was a hailstorm that covered the city in snow two days ago in the middle of Germany… in Summer.

It really feels weird that there is nothing you as a person can do

Maybe good news for those of us in Europe
